[time don't care about anyone or anything]
Oh my god I'm doing it again.
As any of you who have ever tried to schedule anything with me ever, or have tried to get me to do something within a deadline, or have ever tried to pin me down for an hour at a time, know very well, I am absolutely terrible about overscheduling. I get restless without something to do pretty much all the time. I give my free time away like Goodwill castoffs, I hiatus or slowatus at my RPs something like once a month, I overschedule, I double-book, I flake. I've gotten better about the double-booking and the flaking in the past year; but again, I am filling up every spare hour I have, and I can see it happening but I'm NOT STOPPING IT.
But-- but there's so much to do here! I'm in symphony! And an undergraduate string quartet! And cello studio! And I have a weekly cello lesson! And weekly sight-singing practice with Justin! And of course mandatory piano practice and possibly Dean's Student Advisory in a few weeks, not to mention at least two hours of practice/study for every hour I'm actually in class, which gets up to, like, twenty hours a week.
AND THAT'S JUST THE MANDATORY STUFF.
There's also my excellent reading group that meets in the hour EXACTLY before cello studio but that is too cool to drop! And, upcoming, possibly the taiko club and GLBTF! And the Catholic women's group! And then of course there's the fun shit - random street fairs, trips to the public library, jazz music in the Union with Jonesy, adventures in the Huff with Roomie Dearest.
I think I keep myself so busy these first few weeks because really, I'm pretty homesick. I like my new acquaintances, my freedom, my classes, even my homework; but I think I'd give an entire month's worth of college activities to be able to go to Dragon*Con with you guys this weekend.
