I'm tired.

I'm glad that it's Friday because I am WAY tired this week!  Too much going on and too many late nights (because of homework AND facebook, I'm afraid). 

I received news this week that one of my aunts (on my dad's side) has liver cancer.  They're still determining all the details, but maybe in the next couple of weeks we'll know more.  It's just such a downer.  I've said it before and I'll say it again...cancer sucks.  It ruins so many lives and it's just a nasty, nasty thing.  That's all I'll say about that for today.

On a more positive note, we just completed our SIXTH week of the semester!  Only ten more left!!  YAY!!!! :o)  I really do hate to wish my life away, but I will be SO glad when I am doing with the "work full-time & go to school part-time" routine.  The other day I was thinking about it all and I decided that I don't like the person I am right now.  It's hard to get around that, though, because of how badly I want to finish this degree!  The part about what I don't like right now just involves being SO busy that some things that are really important to you get cheated.  For instance, I just haven't been able to keep in touch with my friends like I want to.  I wasn't fantastically stellar at it before, but now that I'm SO busy, it just feels impossible.  Another thing is getting to Bible study at a decent time so that I can sit and be quiet and think on things for a little while.  It seems like not only have I missed out completely on Bible study more times in the last six months than I have in the last sixteen years, but when I do get there, I feel like I'm racing in at the last minute.  That's not how I want it to be!!  I'm also getting tired of feeling tired and stretched thin all of the time, too.  I do realize that I am a procrastinator, though, and that does affect me sometimes (unfortunately!!), so I can't be too whiny about things since sometimes my "problems" are self-inflicted. :)

Weekend plans?  Well, I would like to clean my apartment, so that's at the top of the list!  I also have to study for an exam that I have next Thursday and, finally, I'd like to catch up on some sleep!!  It's gonna be a good weekend!! :o)
