This Whole Staying up Late Thing...

It's really not for me, but for some odd reason, I can't bring myself to crawl into bed and pass out for the night. I've been exhausted all week long, because of a great lack of sleep and the entire mountain range of homework my first week back. I suppose it is my fault for taking 17 credits, most of which are English classes and one is the feared "War and Peace." It's the reading that's getting to me. I haven't had an excess of written assignments yet, but the reading is killer! In a few weeks, I'm hoping to have a decent homework schedule worked out that leaves time for a bit of a social life. Becoming a complete hermit this semester is NOT an option! Spending time with friends is very important to me. I need to be able to balance both a social (however small) and a school life. Also, I know that I haven't been updating my blog too often lately and I wish I said that I could do this more often, but it is hard to find enough time in this busy schedule. Today was good. I spent time OUTSIDE my room cheering on my Knights and then went for a movie night at Larry's apartment. The rest of my week was spent strictly on homework. I found little time for myself which resulted in unnatural levels of stress. When I get stressed, I tend to get a bit testy. My friends can attribute to the statement that I became annoyed easily and would snap at any rude/obscure gesture, how ever small they were. Things should get better as the semester goes on and I become more accustomed to my workload and hopefully stress levels will go down, at least a bit so that I can go back to enjoying life a bit more. It's only one hard week of classes. I'm just overreacting, right?
