This Semster

First off, let me tell you that this semester has caught me by surprise.

Firstly,  it literally snuck up on me, and it took me a good couple of weeks to get my head in the game and realize I was actually in school again.

Secondly,  my classes are hard this semester. Real hard.  I don't think I've ever had to work this hard in my life for anything.  Talk about a wake-up call!  It's stressing me out pretty good.

I'm having to learn:
-how to get enough sleep,
-how to get enough hours at work to make enough money to pay rent and buy food,
-how to manage stress and not just bottle it up,
-how to be social with my new ward,
-how to fulfill my church calling,
-how to exercise effectively,
-and how to make time for existing friends.

Somehow, there's hardly even enough time to get sleep, work, go to classes, and finish my homework, let alone all those other things.

I think it's just going to be one of those semesters.

But, I really don't have anything to complain about, since there are plenty of others with much tougher lives than me.

Besides, I have great roommates, supportive friends, an awesome ward.  And I'm learning about stuff I really like.  And I'm going to BYU for crying out loud!

Sometimes I think I'm spoiled.  :)
