Busy as a Bee

I know I haven't been posting alot lately. But, I know it's hard to believe, my life has gotten significantly more complicated as of late. You might ask, why? What is that could possibly make my life more complicated than it alot was? Well, I got a job. It kind of happened rather quickly. And it was completely out of the blue. I got a work study position here at the college. I'm working in the Institutional Effectiveness Research and Planning office. I'm sorta like a secretary. I do work at the main desk, but I also do other things. I organize book shelves, files, budget books, statics reports, etc. I'm enjoying it so far. The schedule is fairly flexible, or at least they work around my classes and zoo stuff. The people in my office are really nice too. They've kind of taken me under there wings.

But y'all know how busy my schedule already was, so now it's just insane. I added it up the other day and I work 15 hours a week in the zoo (not including my weekends that I work), 15 hours in the office, and am taking classes. AND am attempting to have a social life. So my life is crazy right now. I'm definitely stretching my self thin. And I'm starting to feel the effects of it.

Right now I've worked everyday from 8-5 since last Monday. And my first day off will be this Friday. I get Friday and Saturday off, then back to work Sunday-Friday. This Friday I'm probably going to go to the homecoming parade/hang out with friends. Saturday I'm in a skit with a group of friends. I'm pretty nervous about that. Then, like I said, working Sunday-Friday. Then Saturday my family is meeting up for Momma T's bday celebration (it's actually this Sunday, but we're celebrating a little belatedly), so I have to go to that cause I'm her baby girl. And the week after that I have Boo at the Zoo on Halloween, which I'm totally not looking forward to. And I work projects the day after, so I'll be cleaning up from the night before.

The list of things goes on and on. I'm definitely busy! Most of y'all know that I don't do well with such a full plate. I like keeping things simple. I'm like my Aunt Sue in that way. So this is all alot for me to deal with. It's just very physically draining on me. I walk all through the zoo, I walk back and forth between home, work, the zoo, etc, I walk everywhere. My feet are starting to really pay for it too. I've decided that being an adult really sucks.

I don't especially know what the purpose of this post was. I just thought you might enjoy hearing from me since I haven't posted in forever. It's not that I don't want to, I'm just too exhausted by the time I get home at the end of the day. I would appreciate all of you keeping me in your prayers though. Hope you're all having a great Oct. Love you all!
