Thus Far
So I am currently sitting in the University Computing Center printing a group project for my Accounting class, and thought I should write in this thing. This semester (only three weeks old) has been absolutly crazy. The class load is a lot more than what I had anticipated, the Pre-Law Society has grown leaps and bounds, and my position in the Student Ambassador has given me a lot of power. The classes I am taking are great classes, and I love them all so far, but there is just an exorbanant amount of homework. The one thing that I really need to do this coming weekend is sit down and first of all just relax, but second of all, organize my time into something that will make it far more efficient. I also need to realize that not all of my classes are as stressful as I may be making them, although I guess I just realized it because I typed it here. But thats besides the point. Extreme organization of my time will be sought after in the weekend to come. I also don't like the fact that I just sign up for new clubs, societies, forums without consulting my schedule before hand. Just to give a run down of what I am in, and this is in no way going to be used to "show off" the amount of things im in, but rather for me to realize that I need to drop certain things....and this list is:
Pre-Law Society
Drive Safe Kalamazoo
Campus Activities Board
International Politics Forum
Student Alumni Association
Residence Hall Association
Western Student Association
Student Ambassador-Paying Job
So as you, and I can see, this list is a bit daunting, and im sure it will be cut almost in half within the next few weeks just for my own sanity's sake. Another thing that I have been contemplating is making use of the free counsling services the campus has. I'm not trying to say that I should go for depression, or any other mental troubles, but just to figure things out, possibly to just talk out my struggles rather than keep them within. I really hope that I can get stuff figured out soon, just so it doesn't impact the relationships between all my friends. That is definatly the last thing I will need, is to lose a friend because of my schedule, or my sanity.
Well, I believe it is time for me to run off to class, but before I do, I want to leave with this quote:
"Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them." --Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Odyssey
Hope all is well,
