End of the Day

Today was a very busy day but I figured I cheated and only did a very short post last night so I would do another post now. I managed to do everything I wanted to do today minus my homework. It's Friday and even though I know I have to work all weekend I haven't been able to bring myself to do my work. I think I just really needed a break from doing homework. It was really nice today to go out and hang with a newish friend, to try to find some new ground with my roommates and to get a little bit of alone time with Garret. The LCP show tonight was really funny and it was nice to get out of the apartment and go do something fun. I feel like I don't do that very often. I'm usually here, in classes or at work. It seems like the only thing I have managed to do for myself is write here. Thank God for this. It has been very good therapy for me. I wouldn't mind having more comments and more people sharing in it with me though.

I think I need to find a better balance this semester between me and everything else. Traditionally when I get busy the first things to go are the things I enjoy and then the next tings are the things I do to take care of myself. Usually the only enjoyment I keep for myself is Garret. I should be better to myself. It is good to have a good work ethic but it also good to take care of yourself. Today was well deserved I think but I'm sure I will be paying for it tomorrow and Sunday and maybe even Monday. It has really been hard because most of my homework has been reading and after having to do so much reading lately I'm not sure I ever want to read again. Writing is a relief because it is slightly different.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to balance myself and everything else?
