Balance

Such a simple thing, balance. Yet I don’t feel like I’ve had that much of it lately. I didn’t realize how much I need a break until I sat down a couple of minutes ago. I don’t know if I’m trying to convince myself of the two statements below, or if they’re the truth.

No matter where you go to school, you’re going to be pushing yourself hard academically.

No matter where you go to school, the job hunt is going to be stressful.

I’m sitting here realizing how much time I’ve spent on those two things, negleting other things. I’m watching Vandy play G. Tech right now and thinking how much I’d like to be there right now. But I need to spend some more time with the fiance, especially with the fact she’s been working night shifts lately. There doesn’t seem to be a balance with my personal life in comparison to my school and “professional” life. That’ll change soon, hopefully.

I’m going to watch the game, crack a beer, and relax until tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I’ll be chopping down a Christmas tree while the better half directs me. I’ll then start studying for operations while watching the Giants whip on Carolina (its a stone cold lock baby) and clear my head a little bit. That should refresh the batteries and let me finish exams strong.
