My life lately has gone completely retarded.
I've always been fairly busy, right? But I honestly can't say that I've ever had quite this much blindside me at once. I am SO TIRED and I don't really see an end in sight until like. Thanksgiving.
First of all, classes. CLEARLY I am taking too many of the rather-difficult sort. But I can handle that. Sort of. And the schedule they're on is complete CRAP because they're all spaced out and it makes like I'm spending three times as much time in class as I actually am. ARG.
Second, the play. I love it dearly, I do. But when you have rehearsal MOST nights until, oh, 10:30/11 on top of everything else? asjfklasjflf want to die.
Third, Equestrian Team. A twice-a-week crack-of-dawn commitment in and of itself, this weekend is out home show. Long time members of my flist may recall what this entails, but let me recap:
1. I wake up at 5:30 Saturday AND Sunday in order to be at the barn by 6 [and this is pushing for time]
2. I work. all. day. long. Both days. Usually in crap weather because the weather is NEVER good when you have to be out in it for hours on end.
3. We have workdays LEADING UP TO IT with required numbers if hours.
4. One of those workdays is ALWAYS friday so we don't even get a day to rest up and get ready for Hell.
5. I work on Fridays and thus can't do my hours until I get off.
So here I am, sitting at work, absolutely exhausted because life has been a completely and utter bitch lately, knowing that when I clock out at 6, the first thing I get to do is drive out to the barn and WORK. For like, three more hours. HOPEFULLY we will run out of things to do and someone will take pity on my poor wilting soul and SEND ME HOME. I'm not holding my breath though.
And you know, on top of all this I have a social life. Steph is supposed to come over and watch old disney movies with me tonight while JD and Bailey strike the set of Waiting for Godot and tomorrow night is the cast party for said lay, which consists of, h, the VAST MAJORITY of my social circle and I never miss a cast party if I can help it.
So I'll be there. Tired and unable to stay out too late, but I wouldn't miss it. (And the important people know I am not allowed to drink myself to excess, no matter how much I might want to after whatever the hell goes down tomorrow)
Now don't get me wrong-- I know this post makes it seem like I hate riding, hate the equestrian team and wish it would just bugger off and leave me the hell alone. NOT TRUE. Well, mostly not. I love riding. I love a good number of the people on the team, but I'm really starting to wish I hadn't done it this semester because of what a time drain it is right now. There are just so many requirements-- the work days, the strict time thing for the shows, the need to work the shows all day long, the structured times at which I can be at the barn for lessons (which really are NOT convenient for me and my schedule at ALL). I miss the days when I would ride more at better times and without the whole team business. Yes, they're fun people. Yes, I love them dearly. Yes, I also love the much reduced COST of riding like this. But oh my fucking god if people don't stop planning badly and throwing hissy fits about things not going smoothly I am going to have to chokeabitch and I have no idea who yet. I know we have some people on the team who really have no life OUTSIDE of the team. And you know what? I am so not one of them.
Next semester should be better. It had BETTER be better, because I don't think I could survive another one like this.
