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.
