Drowning...

    Days like today I need to remember my basic functions to keep moving forward. One foot in front of the other, check off one thing at a time. It's like I'm drowning alive and my To-Do list is the thing that is swallowing me. It's that time in the semester for me where EVERYTHING is coming due. For me, it's worse because on top of it all, I run a half marathon and fly out to California exactly one week from today. Super exciting I know, BUT...that means my to-do list has to be accomplished BEFORE then. I'm so ready to just be a teacher already!!

And THEN today, I go and pick up information about studying abroad because I guess I need to "apply" so that I can go. Too bad my ticket is already bought folks, but thanks for letting me know that I need to apply anyway because you didn't inform me that I needed to fill out paper work. BuH. Dumb people. I need to write a 3 page autobiography about myself, get 2 letters of recommendations, oh..and it's going to be an extra $1,000 on my tuition. It's sweet when I know all the information BEFORE I buy my $1,600 ticket to Africa...Thanks. It's not like it changes my mind about going, and NOT really that huge of a deal, but today it was just more crap to to add to my list that seems to be never ending.

In addition to my world toppling in on me, people are just getting on my nerves! When someone calls you, call them back, excuses are overrated and I get so sick of being the one who puts in effort into friendships. Also, when someone talks in class, don't act like a know-it-all and annoy the whole class. You're not the smartest person in the world, and you're not better than the rest of your class. Sometimes I just wish I could make a sign that says GROW UP or STOP TALKING, NO ONE CARES and slide it across the table without being looked at as offensive.

Oh, AND...my "little friend" who is in town once a month is visiting this week and all I want to do is eat everything in front of me. Too much information I know, but I think it adds to the irritation of my life right now.

TRYING to be optimistic I decided to link one of my favorite songs that sometimes helps me get through overwhelming times. I just have to remember that I'm being a little dramatic, I just gotta breathe and take one step at a time. It's time not to complain, it's time to work. So my rant is over, if you got this far...well, I'm sorry for too much information and for being so whiny. I promise after my to-do list is a little more completed I'll be in a much better mood! Just need to remember that I'm not going to drown if I keep swimming, and to just keep breathing!
