So much to do, so little time to do it

Isn't it funny how little time you seem to have when you have mountains of work to do, yet when you have nothing to do you suddenly have all the time off in the world?

I don't think it's funny.
I think it's cruel.


Today was just ridiculous. I honestly cannot even believe it is 10:46 PM already...and I am not nearly finished with what I need to accomplish! (Don't worry...writing this isn't hindering me. I just need to get a whole bunch of CDs downloaded for Theory, so they are currently downloading while I'm writing.) Not to mention the library closes in about an hour...so these CDs better hurry it up!!!! Anyway, today my schedule went a little like this:

6:30 AM - Woke up, ate breakfast, got ready for the day
7:30 - 10:30 AM - OPE @ SotA
10:30 - 11:00 AM - Printed out speech outline and wrote out short outline on notecard
11:00 - 11:50 AM - Basic conducting
11:55 - 12:10 PM - Super fast lunch
12:15 - 1:10 PM - Principles of Education (bleh!)
1:15 - 1:30 PM - Practice speech on Lisa and Aaron
1:40 - 2:30 PM - Principles of Speech (gave my speech.... it went very well!)
2:35 - 3:00 PM - Warm up trumpet
3:05 - 4:15 PM - Trumpet Lesson
4:30 - 5:50 PM - Wind Ensemble
6:00 - 6:15 PM - Go back to room and change/pack backpack for library later
6:20 PM - Dinner
7:30 - 8:30 PM - Jess and Kristen's Junior Recital
8:45 - ??? PM - Library (where I am now!)

Still on the agenda tonight? Laundry, a bit of homework, a maybe some packing. We shall see.

Thankfully for me, no theory tomorrow so I don't have class until 3:00; however, I do have to work out, go to Wegmans, turn in my 5 choices for the theory paper, and pack. *le sigh* no rest for me!


It always seems to go this way in college. You suddenly have a free weekend with no concerts or other events to attend, with plenty of time to do mountains of homework, yet there is no homework to be done! (Example: MLK Jr. Day weekend - this break came right after school started and there was nothing to do! Could have been time well spent on homework!) Then a few weeks come up where tons of recitals, concerts, etc. are going on and then all of your professors/teachers go nuts and start assigning those mountains of homework you were wishing for before! Why does this always happen?!

Truth is...we'll probably never know. It's just the way things are. Now that I've gone back and reread that last paragraph I realize I must sound like a huge dork... wishing for homework. I know, I know, people aren't supposed to wish for more work. I guess I'm just the kind of person who likes to be busy.

But not too busy.
And today, the last 5 days really, have been way too busy.


So yea, that's my ramblings for today. Thankfully I am almost done with these CDs (hopefully they will be done in the next 30 minutes otherwise I'll get locked in the library!) so I can head back to my room and do some laundry. Yay?

"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things." -Psalm 107: 6, 8-9
