15 minutes

I hate mornings where I barely have enough time to gag down hot coffee as I encourage my son to get out the door while wrestling my cat into swallowing a pill. I fell asleep with wet hair so its in a ponytail because its in total disarray so my ears are cold from walking around campus in the freezing cold. My economics test was a total disaster because I decided not to read the material, but its scantron, so at least I have a 1/4 chance that my guesses were correct. And that is enough with the whining.

My goal for this week is to try and work out some time management skills. I say this just about every semester at this time, but I am truly tired of flying by the seat of my pants to get things done, with the things that don't need to be done (But that really should), never getting accomplished. If I am going to try to get into grad school while I am working on my BS, I need to have a good idea of how I am going to do it beforehand so I don't go insane. And more than just a plan, I need to have the motivation to implement it.

Tonight Dan has duty so Draigan and I are on our own. Nights like this are good for cooking together and doing puzzles. I'm glad I get out of school today so it doesn't feel so rushed. I could use a nice relaxing night of just the two of us goofing off. I feel like I've gotten so serious lately- my sense of humor has disapated.

In the past I tended to skip blogging unless I had a good chunk of time to think about what I wanted to say. I figure if I want to do it, I need to just work with it. I don't have blocks of time anymore and if I do, there's always studying to be done. So from now on, expect mindlessness.

Topics I want to write about:

Places I want to Travel
Places I've been
State of education
The evils of Walmart
Astro photography
The war
My classes
Social work in general

I know, sounds sort of boring when you write it out like that. However, making a list almost guarantees it will never be thought of again. With exception to the traveling. That is always close to my heart.
