Juggling Act

Ever since I've been back to school (ahem, three days) I've felt like my life is doing this:

Which really isn't good when you're still recovering from the plague.

No time for sleep.

Just more lessons plans, programs, and various commitments I truly want to follow through on, but are truly just draining right now.

My life used to be like this every day, every week, every month, every year... in my younger years.  lol

I'm border line overwhelmed.

In three days.

I feel so lame.

What about you, my friends?  Do you find that you just can't tackle what you used to be able to in college?  High School?  (ahem) Elementary...?  LOL 

Where did all the energy go?!

Testing, Testing, Is This Thing On?

This week is the week of tests in the land of university.

Apparently just before Thanksgiving break, when students are most fatigued, is the time professors deem necessary to test every student on their knowledge absorption before stuffing themselves with turkey and pumpkin everything over break.

Thus, this week I feel as if I'm sprouting an irrational number of fresh grays while too many of my reds fall out.

*sigh*

I'll make it, no worries... pressing on, pressing on... =)

PS, this afternoon I've decided to reward a day full of studying and testing with a bit of retail therapy... I'm really excited.  I may share my findings with you later!  =)

Countdown to The Bahamas:

Four Days.

As I'm sure you can tell by my lack of bloggerific activity lately, school has been keeping me quite busy.

I have been working my little hinny off to be ahead of the game in homework, studying and life overall in order to be ready for this trip. 

Can't wait to spend hours reading on the plane, sleeping on the beach, swimming with the dolphins oh - my - goodness!!!

I can't believe it's nearly here!  =D

I am SO excited about the beautiful pictures I will *hopefully* bring back to share with you!

And since I'm working to have all of the next TWO weeks worth of homework done before I leave on Sunday, I should actually have time to post those lovely pics when I get back!  =)

Disclaimer:

Since MacGyver and I are still getting to know one another, my pictures may not be edited in such a lovely manner as I usually attempt to achieve.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!  Otherwise, please bear with me while I figure life out with my new friend!  =)

Four days folks... four days.

I used to have a life... ?!

Hello readers, I miss you!

Well first of all, I'm making this post on my beautiful new MacBook Pro, aka, MacGyver!  =D

Thanks to all who cast votes, it was so fun to have your input!

I love Mr. MacGyver.

He's already making my life easier (not having to reconnect to the internet every ten minutes for no apparent reason) and I know that as I get to know his inner workings better through the weeks and months to follow he will continue to assist me in my life as a wife, student, teacher, musician and my many other personas.

I love MacGyver.

Thank you again to my wonderful hubby for springing for such an incredible birthday gift -- it was worth the wait!  =)

Now on another note:

Oh. My. Word.
I think I used to have a life...
I seem to have misplaced it.

School is in full swing and anyone out there who has been through university life knows that early to mid October is when the semester begins feeling like it's crashing down on you in a pile of debris that will bury you alive, never to be found by any rescue squad.

Yea... that's kind of where I'm at.  lol

BUT, I am enjoying being back in school, seeing my college friends on a regular basis and exercising my brain again... though I wish I were exercising my body as much as my brain!  ;)  Don't we all.

Well I apologize for my lack of follow through on the posts I foreshadowed some time back.  Needless to say, life has caught up with me yet again!  

I'm headed out to visit my handsome hubbers in Tejas this weekend.  Hoping for some reflective time while I'm there to bring you all up to date on some aspects of life we've been wrestling with lately...  

Want a preview?

Turn this question around in your heart a bit:

What does it look like to truly live, love & serve like Christ through our time, finances, home, belongings, relationships, etc...

Until next time... ciao my friends.  =)
