Recipe For Life This Month

Here is what a recipe for my life would look like for the month of May:

Directions for 'Life This Month'

Layer evenly:

1/5 cup work
1/5 cup school
1/5 cup homework
1/6 cup spice of life

Allow to sleep for 6 - 10 hours.  Warning: Less than 6 hours or more than 10 hours will result in a lack of product function.  Do not shake or stir ingredients!  May cause undue stress to occur on final product.  Place in 400° oven and bake for 4 weeks or until sufficiently burnt.  Pull out of oven and enjoy your summer!  *Caution!  Product will be very spent!  Handle with care!

Yes, I did indeed come up with the previous recipe for my life.  And yes, I did do the math to make those fractions as accurate as possible.  Sad that I'm spending approximately the same amount of time at work, in class, and doing homework.  I never thought I would see the day when I would spend nearly 3-4 hours every night doing homework... It's been rather intense.

Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking summer classes.  (I know!  Who wants to kill themselves in a month, right?)  I am taking 6 credits in 4 weeks.  They are basically taking a normal 3½-month course and cramming it into 1.  It was GREAT once I finally got the hang of managing my time (I quickly realized I wasn't going to have a life except on the weekends--which were normally spent sleeping or doing chores and running errands; in other words, doing the things which I failed to do during the week).  But knowing I only have 5 days left... SUCH a relief!  Yet now I look back and say, "Where did the time go?"

I know it has been a while since I have blogged.  It's been crazy with the end of the Spring semester wrapping up and now this summer semester starting, and it's been a dead run ever since.  I'm feel "spent" as the recipe says.  Speaking of which, it's important to remember to layer the ingredients... do not mix them!!  I think at the beginning of the month I was attempting to "mix" the ingredients and it just wasn't working.  Once I found my perfect layering technique, life went a whole lot smoother.  (In other words, once I realized to stop trying to do "everything" during the week and simply start focusing on school, life went smoother.)

Perhaps, now that the craziness has almost ended, I can start blogging more!  I thoroughly enjoy it, yet run out of time way too often.

How is it I have time to blog right now, you may ask?

Well, I'm giving up precious sleep time in order to update you.  Just wanted to let you know that I have not died and I continue to function.  Not normal functioning, mind you, but function I do none-the-less! =D

Hope you all are enjoying your summer and that it's going smoother than mine!
