If you are a student, or really anyone with responsibilities of any kind you know how stressful it can be to watch your "to-do" list grow and grow and never seem to shrink.

Today I am at work in the equipment room at the school of communication from 4-7pm. I brought my homework along (since it's just the start of the semester and no one is needing cameras yet) but as you can see I am procrastinating by blogging instead of reading. On top of the reading and other various assignments (like memorizing where, and how to spell, 23 Middle Eastern Countries are on a map for a quiz tomorrow) I can't seem to find my glasses, my roommate told me this morning that she is going home for the week because of flu like symptoms (so now I need to go Lysol my apartment), and clean up my room tonight before I fall asleep.

The problem is not always that I put my work off but that I spend so much time doing other things outside of school related things, like running home to hang out with family or attend an event or like tomorrow I will be driving an hour each way to spend some time with Janelle because she currently hates school (only a week into freshman year). I would not trade any of my time with family and friends for anything because I think it's the most important thing in the world, but it certainly leads to a few stressful days and some long nights and sleepy mornings.

I am going to sign off now and get to work on my "to-do" list and I suggest you do the same. :)
