Yeah, I admit it. I’ve fallen behind on some things. A lot of things, actually.
Shows that I enjoy watching.
Blog posts that add up on my little To Read list.
Math for high school that I never, umm, completed.
Cards that won’t write themselves.
Games I want to play and can’t find the time to.
Places to clean and dust.
Oh the list goes on and on. So much to do and so little time. Yet some how I seem to find the time for mundane things that don’t make much impact on my To Do list. I find the time to play games and I make time (some how) to read blog posts. I clear some time to write on here, knowing that I have more important things to do.
My blog is important to me but, frankly, graduating high school is much more important.
And to do so, I must complete four years of math. I’m on year, oh yes, two. And I’m having a very hard time with it.
Math has never been a strength of mine. I took two years to ‘understand’ Algebra One. I know that some people just “get” math and it comes easy to them. But, alas, I will never be one of those people. I’m the type of person that wants to just cry when they see a math book, and then take the book, rip out each page, scribble on it, and burn the binding of the book.
I think this may make me a violent person. It’s quite possible. Because I truly hate math. But the thing is, I have to complete it…so I’m trying. Every day I’m doing two lessons, which means I’ve some how found two extra hours to do math each day.
Hence something has to disappear from my day. The strange thing is, I haven’t figured out what I’m no longer doing. I still read blog posts, I still play games, and I still watch my shows. I think the difference may be that the cards are written when I remember, my room doesn’t get cleaned very often (but, let’s be honest, I very rarely cleaned before anyway), and I record my shows to watch them when I find time.
So I’m still doing everything…but I’m doing it differently. I still feel behind, though. I feel like I have so much to catch up on. So many people I want to see and hang out with, so many pictures I want to take, so many words I want to say.
I’ve just got to find a way.
Maybe I should add that to my list.
Stacie – OH MY WORD. You’re from Australia and you read my blog? I’m not sure why, but that is so so cool to me. And strange, but really awesome. Enjoying the Small Things is one of the most beautiful blogs I’ve ever seen. Are her pictures beyond amazing or what?! Thank you so much for visiting my blog. You made my day.
I think it is completely understandable that you would be behind given everything else you have going on lady! Just give yourself time to catch up… it will all work out! :)
