Not enough hours in the day

Note: I saved this blog entry as a Word document and when all of my 2007 entries were deleted, I reposted this.

Iplan on really changing things around here at my priority-one hide-away, further on referred to as Hide-Away Improvements. There’s a new theme on the way (which I hate; I seem to be losing PSP skills by the second) and my nineteenth birthday is tomorrow (which I hate as well; WHO LIKES GETTING OLDER AND OLDER AND OLDER?!) - both call for changes, don’t you agree?

All my online projects need to finally be finished and released appropriately. I’m currently trying to figure out how to include them into one website; and if they should ne included here or sperated. The thing is that I’m going to have to add some portions of all the disorganized stuff I run online to my portfolio once I start applying at different universities - although I’m really not going to go through much of an applying process as I only have one school I want, it’s either that or a-year-off-to-find-myself. Go figure.

So the question is, Do I want the people who are going to decide whether I can attend a certain university to read about my disfunctional life on this blog? Probably not. But do I want to have to keep track of fifteen billion (okay, six) different websites while trying to graduate? HELL NO.

On top of the life-alteringd ecisions concerning this website - I wish I was kidding - all kinds of appointments and things-that-need-to-be-taken-care-of-immediately keep piling up right in front of me and I can’t grab a hold of anything, let alone take a minute to catch my breath.

We had a meeting for our AZ (yearbook for the seniors) yesterday that was cancelled last minute. But it sill counts because, technically, I prepared for it and made arrangements which consumed quite a bit of my free time. Tomorrow, my French class is obliged to watch the French AP class perform a French drama on stage after school, so there! again! - I do love French, though, so it’s okay.

That same night, however, my History class as well as another History class meet at Bowling at the Boulevard - just for fun. I love off-school class meetings because everybody is so much more relaxed, especially the teachers. But it’s my birthday and I’m kinda torn between going and skippin for the benefit of my family who never even gets to see me anymore.

On Friday, I’m celebrating my birthday with all the beloved relatives, on Saturday I’m having a girls’ night out at our favorite cocktail bar with my closest friends.

The week after, I need to do two major presentations at school (Social Studies and French). We do have Thursday and Friday off because Thursday is a national holiday but Thursday night I’m invited to a DVD marathon night.

Now, I love doing all these things, don’t get me wrong. I never used to be this active and involved with people from school and it feels great. It has been so much recently, though, that I had to cancel on two birthdays just last week (WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE HAVING THEIR BIRTHDAYS IN OCTOBER?).

There’s just not enough hours in the day.

PS - I bet you were wondering, WHAT THE HACK? SIX DIFFERENT WEBSITES? HOW COME SHE NEVER TELLS US ABOUT THEM? Well, here’s the deal, start counting: this website, my cooking website, my photography portfolio, my school’s class of 2008 website, my school’s class of 2008 forum, my school’s official website for Student Representation. It’s a shitload of work, trust me. And after all the complaining, maybe I should mention that I love being busy. It’s a vicious circle, really.
