I'm getting baptized this semester, so my pastor gave me a book to read to prepare me. We're going to be meeting up once a week to discuss the material and how it relates to what I want to do, which will hopefully take place after spring break in March. We had our first meeting last night...It's like I'm relearning my faith (back to basics) so that I can take the next step in it. It was a good evening with enlightening conversation, but it really drained me and I felt like I couldn't focus on work afterwards.

I think I'm stretching myself too thin. I feel worn out. I really do. And it's only the third week of school? I'm not here to whine and bitch and moan. I'm just...tired. Really tired. Physically because I'm not getting enough sleep. And mentally because there's so much going on in my head. I'm trying to sort everything out. I've never felt before that there were not enough hours in a day, as I do now. I've been busy and overwhelmed before but now even when I'm structuring my days and scheduling hour by hour I can't seem to get everything done. I'm getting many many emails from Rotarians who I've emailed to help with Rotaract. But I don't know what I want to do/don't have the time to answer them, so I've been ignoring the emails. I got an email yesterday from a Rotarian that was basically one line "Have you been getting my emails? Call me." Shoot. Maybe I need to give something up. But I have no idea what that would be. Maybe I just need to work faster. And stop blogging. hah.

I had a moment of stress stress stress for about 45 minutes last night. But then we went to go surprise Paul at midnight for his birthday, and that's always fun =].

I took my independent study class for granted last semester. Now I have four classes which I actually have to attend.

Class in an hour. There's snow outside.

steph wu's friend
p.s. you gotta take care of yourself first before you take care of the world, so don't forget its okay to say no to certain things and stay committed to whats truly important to you. and i know you too well steph! no doubt you have the ability to take on whatever life throws at you but at the same time you need to make sure your getting enough rest and time to yourself so you can really give your best to your commitments.
