So, I have to work full time this semester, seeing as this is the first time I've lived with out the financial cushion of living with a couple. Despite the obvious dismay I have about asking people what salsa they want for 40 hours each week, I do really enjoy living alone with my sister. It's nice to have someone that was raised with you and enjoys the same food and lifestyle ideals as you do... making smores in the living room together 3 nights a week and staying up late watching chick flicks is also more or less the shiznit lol.School is back in full motion and I'm doing my best to stay optimistic about my less than ideal time situation. Working 40 hours a week while taking 16 credit hours is proving exhausting. Luckily I'm very competitive with myself, or else I think I may have already burnt out.
Here's what my time frame is like:
Monday: Classes: 9:30 - 4:50
Tuesday:
Class: 11:30 - 2:20
Work: 4:00 - 11:00
Wednesday:
Classes: 9:30 - 4:50
Thursday:
Class: 11:30 - 2:20
Work: 4:00 - 11:00
Friday:
Classes: 9:30 - 12:20
Work: 4:00 - 11:00
Saturday:
Work: 8:00 - 4:00
Sunday:
Work: 8:00 - 4:00
I also spend most Tuesday and Thursday mornings working on my sculpture class hw, Sunday nights are devoted to drawing, which is give or take 7 - 10 hours, Saturday nights are devoted to math hw, and wednesday nights are the only nights I get to see my boyfriend... :(
My biggest concerns this semester are:-Not spending enough time on my art
-Estranging my boyfriend and friends through lack of contact
-Severe sleep deprivation
-Finances
I'm just really worried about spreading myself too thin, but alas, these were the cards I was dealt, and I'm going to try to do my best in every aspect.
I doubt I'll make it to the gym though. lol
I'm getting some interesting art done... I don't know that my drawings are where I want them to be yet, but I'm really trying to push more conceptual qualities of my art... it's surprisingly emotionally exhausting.
In completely unrelated news, I finally got my kitten Mozilla spayed! :) I've been saving up for tuition and she started to show signs of going into heat again (once was enough to almost drive me mad) so I snipped the problem (no pun intended) right away, and she was in, out and drugged up in one day. :) Grand total came out to $117 at the SPCA, which was about $150 cheaper then what her vet quoted me at. I felt so bad for her after though... she looked like she was tripping, but I figure it's better then having to feel the pain of the surgery lol. Her sutures are holding up nicely and her shaved belly is adorable... She's gotten a lot more affectionate, but unfortunately she still meows incessantly at any and all closed doors, as well as when she's just plain bored... so as long as i keep my door open at night she's a happy(and purry) camper. :)
More later... for now, sleep!
