Last year, I dealt with feeling overwhelmed by reminding myself that I wouldn't be so busy after graduation. People tried to tell me otherwise, but I couldn't imagine how it would be possible without my dozens of activities/meetings, the newspaper, and classes.
Oh, it's still possible.
Not that I'm complaining, exactly. I'm just acknowledging that I'm still always busy.
I work 9-5, which means I'm busy from the time I wake up until at least 5:30. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I have just enough time to eat and change before dance. I usually get to watch an episode or two of How I Met Your Mother while I eat. After rehearsal, we sometimes go out for a bit, and then I get home and go to bed.
Sundays there's church at 11:30 and dance at 5. The time in between never seems to turn into particularly productive time. It's either family time or errand-running time. Sometimes it's lazy time. When I'm motivated, it's running time. I need to make it motivated running time a little more often...
That leaves three open days each week. Fridays and Saturdays should be crazy go-out-be-young-and-party days (let's face it, I'm 22). More often than not, though, I'm either tired from the week and need a chill night, or I have running to do since the middle of my week is all dance, or I have some sort of event or fundraiser to go to. Saturday afternoons are good for those too, when I'm not judging a speech meet or staying at the gym for a bit after yoga.
Mondays would be ideal yoga-and-me-time nights, but they're also the only nights available for spending time with people.
So the juggling game continues. I think I'm going to be very busy for a very long time....
