It's just harder and harder to keep up with everything now that school has started.
So far I like everything, and I don't think this semester is going to be as insane as previous ones, partly because I'm now on anti-anxiety meds so I can actually think straight, and partly because I'm only taking four classes this year. Normally I'd want to get more credits in and done with, but if I want to be able to devote the necessary time to Design and Illustration III homework and NOT go insane, I'm going to need more time. Homework for that is like another class all it's own.
I'm working on establishing an actual schedule to my life this year, and so far I'm doing pretty good. It's only two weeks into the year, so there's still plenty of time for me to slack and ruin it all, but I'm really trying.
Goals for this year:
-do homework the day it is assigned (or at least get a fair chunk of it done. I can't sew a whole garment in a day, but I can at least not put it off.)
-go to sleep at a decent hour
-keep the apartment clean.
-Do the dishes before the sink becomes it's own ecosystem
-play with Alonso more, and make sure he gets plenty of time to run around every day (this has helped me keep things clean, because I have to make sure all the stuff is where he can't reach it)
-NOT GET SICK I'm getting religious about taking my allergy medicine every day, I'm vacuuming where Alonso runs around more often, and making sure I don't breathe in his fur when I'm nuzzling him, and I'm doing one of thos sinus rinse pots almost every day to keep my sinuses clear.
-be productive. Even if I'm not doing homework, I am going to accomplish more than just mindless websurfing. I have to think about preparing for Artist's Alley in November.
We'll see how it all goes.
Well, I actually need to go get some things done now. Here's hoping I can stick to it.
