back on campus With my return to school this Monday, time management has become more important than ever in my life. Suddenly it seems as though I've gone from having hours of free time to next to none. Of course this is something that I brought about myself so I shouldn't complain and I'm not. It's just taking some getting used to at the moment. I also keep reminding myself that this will only last for four weeks. I never took a summer class when I was an undergraduate, because I was too busy at the time trying to earn money for the fall and next spring. Now I've got a full time job and am hoping to take nine credits this fall. Obviously I am a slightly different person than I was over ten years ago, but it still made me think for a moment. With my new hours this new schedule should be possible or I'll do my best to make it happen, because the end result should be worth it. If I can survive two semesters in a row of nine credits each, I should be able to walk away from my current job as early as next June. Yes, I am making plans again and hopefully I can make this one work plus still find time to go to Barcelona this winter. Personally I think that a week to ten days in Barcelona will be the best thing for me after I get done with the semester. I'll need a break from both work and school by then and I want it to be something that will really free me. Europe I think will be the perfect answer. Going to school the first two days of this week didn't interfere much with my usual routine. Oh, there was a small traffic problem on Tuesday, but all in all it wasn't that disruptive. Today, however, was more of a challenge in terms of sleep. Wednesday mornings tend to be hard on me without school, now with school all that I got was a three-hour power nap between nine this morning to noon and then I was out of the house once again. By the time that I got back to my place at five thirty I was all wound up from the ride home and needed to eat something as well. I told myself that I'd go to sleep again at around seven, which would give me another three hours of sleep. Naturally that didn't happen. Being back in school feels right for me. After my vacation faded, I was starting to let myself slip into a depression of sorts. From my point of view, my life was shrinking into a dead end job and I could feel my options slipping away. Now with school in my life again I have something to challenge me, which as I have said over and over again work never does. With my new schedule still forming, I didn't have time to go online at all today, but I did take some time out to read some of the latest comic books that I picked up. Yes, instead of sleeping before I went to work, I had to read some of my new purchases.
