First week of classes

After today, my first week will officially be over, on account of my Friday class being cancelled while the professor goes to a conference.

OH. MY. GOD. Every year when this happens, I forget how absolutely frantic things are until I settle in to my schedule. Learning on Monday that I was teaching a lab on Tuesday didn't help much, either.

Once again, I seem to have overcommitted myself, but by God, I am hanging onto my extracurricular stuff, because it is FUN and I need wind-down time of a social nature.

( Right now it looks like my schedule's going to work out like this: )

Other goals for the semester include:

• Procrastinate less (but maybe I'll do that later...)
  
• Schedule time to veg - and don't cheat myself out of it
  
• Get to bed earlier, so as not to be zombie-Stine
  
• Stop worrying about things I cannot change
  
• Make time to see friends
  

I have been doing pretty well about getting to bed at a decent hour this week, largely because abject exhaustion is a really good means of convincing yourself to JUST PUT THE PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER DOWN. I've been going to bed around 10 PM each evening, but I've woken up so exhausted that I have convinced myself I need to shoot for 9 PM.

At least until the research takes hold, and I stop sleeping at all...
