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!!!!!!
(I did not spell that wrong--that's Pittsburgh pronunciation...)

The Steelers did it! What a game -- what an exciting finish!

Just keep doing what needs to be done today (or this five minutes). You will be through school before you know it! Love you.

Yeah, Steelers! (Didn't know it was pronounced "Stillers".) We really enjoyed the game here in WV. It was nerve wracking! I wanted to see more Troy, but he was kinda low key last night. 6 Superbowl championships...can you believe it!? Did you have a gathering. Kevin and I ended up watching at home, but we still ate too much junk. I had enough food for a huge party.

BTW, I love your compartmentalizing. Sounds like a good way to cope. Girl, you are almost done!

You are a bright girl to do all that organizing, compartmentalizing, planning and accomplishing what you started. That's great, Sweetie. Love you.
