Toughing It Out

     I think I have learned my lesson.  After finally just writing my last history paper (then having someone else read it, then going back again and revising it to make sure all the necessary parts were included) I have gone through the course outlines from each of my classes and set a calender, prioritizing all of the major papers I have coming.  The last thing I need is to be stuck at the last minute like today, only having a bigger assignment than my time can accommodate.  This next week is gonna be tough with a 3-day drill weekend that includes a diagnostic pt test (and have I mentioned that pt is one of the things I procrastinate about the most?) and an exam the following Monday to prepare for.
     This is one of those times I wish I was one of those people that not only enjoys working out, but used it to help focus pump myself up.  It's just not as easy to do when my work schedule is up and down and I have to rely on only myself to stay motivated.  Maybe I should just get up and run now.  Hmmmm...

...... well, I have to be to work tomorrow at 0615.  I should probably just go to bed instead.  Yeah, in my head are all of those thousands of excuses I come up with every time there is no real reason not to do something I know I should. :/

Where has all the time gone?

With juggling full time work and school, drill weekends, and all that other random crap that comes with life, I had completely forgotten this blog existed and serves a purpose.  Of course, the purpose is mainly just to get credit for it in class, but I had also planned on using it to log my daily dealings with this new adventure called higher learning.  Turns out higher learning leaves little time for much else.
Well, my classes are coming along pretty well, though I am still trying to get to the point where I am "ahead of the game" as far as my online classes go so I have a buffer of time in case anything comes up.  It also is looking like I won't be taking any classes over the summer since I will either be at WLC for the Army or reclassing to another MOS - also for the Army.  Can't really complain too much, though, since the Army is what's paying for it all anyway.
