Ugh!

Time is something I need more of. I mean, I'm writing this at 5:40 in the morning for crying out loud! It is the only chance I've had in days. I often wish that I had a magic wand, or a time turner, then I could either get everything I need to done by magic, or I could do hours over again to give myself more time. That would be really nice...

Anyway, school stuff... So, in my last blog, I said that I had gotten my reference in. I also said that my goal for the day was to type up my essay... Well, I'm trying not to focus too much on my failures, except as opportunities to learn... I have learned, that setting goals, while great in general, need to be a bit more realistic to your present situation. I mean, I actually haven't looked at my essay since I finished the very first, really rough draft... hmmmm.

So here is an attempt at setting a more realistic goal... My goal is, at some point this week, to at least read through what I have written, and make a few improvements. Also to begin typing it, even if only a couple of words.

That looks slightly do-able. I mean, between, homework, class, worship practice, more classes, preparing for my friends wedding (I'm not in it, but I need a haircut, to wax my eyebrows, and find something to wear.), going to the wedding, finding time for friends and family so our relationships can remain healthy, work, and trying not to crack up... My time table is pretty full up... So, if I can reach my goal for the week, I'll be rather proud. Because looking at the list of all I have to do this week, and every week, suddenly makes me realize, that maybe, just maybe, the "realistic" goal I set for myself, was more ambitious than I thought...
