Today has been rough, and there’s still a lot more ahead. It started with Developmental Bio, after which I went jogging around the loop for Jogging class, as opposed to the track. The day was just too beautiful to not enjoy for at least a little portion of it. After that I had to hurry back to my apartment to take a shower before going to get my haircut, which had been growing for five or six weeks and desperately needed a shear.
From there I rushed back to The Commons for a meeting with Steve Gilmore and David Hoffman about the many things we are trying to do in SGA this semester, a meeting that went right up against my time to start work at AV Services, where I am now. After I do all the 7:00 deliveries I have to duck out and go back to The Commons to meet with the students who are going to be with me at the conference with Governor O’Malley tomorrow. We are determined to make this an actual discussion, not just a cute photo-op for the Governor.
I work here at AV until 10 tonight, but at some point I have to run home and get a dress shirt and tie for the meeting tomorrow, because I think I should look a little nicer than the polo ‘n khakis. I also have to write up a 500 word essay on a cultural event for my Spanish class that is due tomorrow afternoon. Add to all this that I have a test in Developmental Bio Thursday morning and Amir has been trying to study with me all week! Oh, and since I didn’t get my lazy behind moving fast enough this morning, I haven’t even touched the piano, which also sucks as my lesson is on Wednesday.
I also made the mistake of not printing out a second copy of my essay outline to bring to work with me, so I can’t really work on that right now. I’ve been trying to get a little further on the Devo studying but it’s been hard to concentrate with all of this on my mind. I think my best bet is to go the Friday Cell Lab lecture rather than the Wednesday one, so I can either pick up my clothes then or use that time to write my Spanish essay.
As much as I hate moving about like a decapitated barnyard fowl, I think I really thrive on keeping myself busy. That’s one of the only explanations that works.
One response to “Tengo mucho en mi plato, y no tenedor”
Love your title,
I totally understand you. Sometimes I think we are addicted to the rush of business. Saying yes to all the things we are asked to do makes us feel important. Or not even saying yes, but just adding more and more activities in our day.
Prioritize and don’t forget what is important in your life. Otherwise all this will not mean anything to you in the end.
Have a great day. Thanks for the lesson.
