Time...

I noticed this evening that I have an interesting problem...not enough time. This is different than the problem that I had just a few weeks ago when it felt like I didn't have enough time to do everything that I HAD to do to finish up the semester. Now the problem is not enough time to do everything that I WANT to do - you know, all those things that I told myself I'd get to do once I was finished with the 'have to do' list like reading books that I want to read and working on self-assigned projects and generally just relaxing and enjoying life. I think this is a perceptual issue. Carrie keeps reminding me that I have the rest of my life to do these things, but 9 years of post-secondary education has taught me to treat time as a VERY limited resource. Full-time studies really are all consuming. So now begins the task of learning that I don't have to do everything that I 'want' to do in the limited space between the ending of one semester and the beginning of another. Here's to more time to do the things I 'want' to do even as I still meet some of the 'have to' responsibilities of life, all the while keeping life in perspective and taking it one thing at a time.
