Compartmentalizing...

Okay, so I essentially have 4 lives. I try to think of myself as one person, but it gets too confusing and a tad overwhelming, so I compartmentalize, and it helps. One of my lives is at home with Bryan, which is only about 2 hours awake and 7 sleeping. Another is at church, which used to be 3 hours a week: 2 on Sunday and one on Wednesday, but I had to give my hour on Wednesday to my 3rd life: school. I spend 5 hours in school, but that is only because I have not gotten homework yet. I will soon have to dedicate more time to school, but as I said before, I am trying to de-whelm myself. If that was not a word before, it is now.
My fourth life is my internship, where I live Monday-Friday from 10AM-6 or 8 PM, depending on activities that occur at the RTF. When I am not currently in this compartment, it is easy to throw myself into my fifth life, which I forgot to add before because I have 2 days for it--MAX--my fun time! Don't get me wrong--I have fun at my internship, school, church, and definitely at home with Bryan. I am, however, one small person and tend to get overwhelmed!!
Don't worry--I am not developing multiple personality disorder--I simply must organize the facets of my life so I know what goes where.
Life is great. Nothing's perfect--things can always get better--but God has blessed me with these compartments. He's given me what I can handle for the time being.
I should thank Him for that more...^_^
Love to all!! Enjoy the Superbowl and gooooooooo STILLERS!!!!!!

Update ^_^

Okay, so life is kind of on pause for me right now. This is a picture of me and Bryan at "Cranksgiving", our small church group's Christmas/Thanksgiving that we had at my friend's house. It was great!! We have a small group that lives in Cranberry, and we hang out together for stuff like game nights, random dinners, Bible studies, etc. It's great!! I love these people so much. They're a blast.
Anyway, so life. I start my internship next week. Whee-hoo!! I'm excited. I'm ready to get going because I've been at the house or my friend's house, catching up on stuff like housework, baby-sitting (throwing my friend's kids around, in the air, etc.) and just enjoying the calm before the storm. I will be insanely busy this semester, doing my internship and taking (thank goodness) only one class. I will be at my internship every day except Saturday and Sunday, when I will be studying for Substance Abuse.
My husband is busy with work, doing new projects all the time, creating new recipes, etc. He came home last night to an insanely clean house--whee-hoo!!! I worked hard!!--and rewarded me by cooking pasta with shrimp and mussels. They were perfectly fresh and were amazing. I'm so glad I married a chef! He got a new cookbook for Christmas and has been poring over it, learning new techniques and gathering new ideas.
I am currently in the middle of 4 books, a couple of which I started a month ago. I'm reading "Memoirs of a Geisha", "Duma Key"--Stephen King, "Case for Christ"--Lee Strobel, and "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister"--Gregory Maguire. The last is a recounting of Cinderella, told in a different light. I have never felt sorry for the ugly stepmother and stepsisters before, but I do reading this! Anyway, I must finish them this weekend before I have to start reading real stuff again and studying for tests. Yeesh!
Done for now. Love to all!!! ^_^
