There aren't enough hours in the day

Baseball season just ended, football just started, hockey is a few weeks away with basketball not far behind. I am obsessed with sports to the detriment of many other things in my life. I am really hoping to be able to change this pattern because it isn't feasable especially with school and eventually a career.

I feel like I'm really starting to wear out, despite the fact I'm only a month deep into school. Every second I am not doing school work bothers me greatly, mainly because I've fallen behind on everything, and I'm starting the trend of giving excuses for not having things in on time. With that said, I am freaking out that I'm going to fall back into a rut. Balancing school with a social life is proving to be increasingly difficult this year, to the point where grades will start to slip once I'm being evaluated.

Even though I wish I could blog far more often than I've been doing, I just can't let myself get distracted with things like this despite their theraputic nature. If I have another spaz out though, I'm sure I'll be back on here sooner rather than later.

Busy, busy, busy

I swear to God, it's so difficult to get anything done in my house, it's like distraction city around here. Obviously living with three other guys does not lean itself to a clean house, but you would think that people have some pride in where they live. Having lived here for the better part of four weeks now, I'm having serious doubts.

I have known my roommates for the course of my four years in school, but I think I've learned more about them since I moved in than over that entire period. Quite frankly, I think I've learned much more than I care to. Luckily, I've gotten much more involved in campus life this year, so it hasn't been as much of a problem.

With that said, I'm going insane with the amount of work I have to do this year. The funny thing is, I immersed myself in it with the knowledge that all these things I'm doing will be highly beneficial to my future. To start, my classes the semester:

40-110 Pre-Production Planning and Design
40-200 Foundations in Communication History
40-216 Video Prouduction I
40-381 Advertising in a Social Context
40-434 Evaluation Research in Communication Studies

On top of that, I'm working on the department's newsletter, writing for the student newspaper (I got to interview Martin Sheen on Saturday, in town to accept an award), was just elected Communication Studies student rep, in the process of getting a part-time job in research, playing soccer (Rude Boyz 2), etc., etc., etc.

I had a lot of steam to put into this one, but after leaving it for a while to go have a couple beers at the bar, I think I'll save the drama for another day.

I'm still Alive

I haven't updated in like 2 weeks, still getting settled in at school, and have a really busy schedule this year. Once I get internet in my house then I'll be in business but until then this is what I'm stuck doing.
