Busy

It seems I haven't had a chance to do all of the things I've been meaning to do this month - call my mom, paint, do yoga, find a tai chi class, clean out my closet, get together with my friend, John, etc. I've just been really really busy. This is what happens when you're in school I guess. I mistakenly had the impression that massage school would still allow me the time and energy to work full-time and get the things done that I needed to. Not so. I spent about 4 hours studying Anatomy last night, and I have yet to start on the business plan that I have due on June 30.

I'm probably going to be picking up more hours at Tree House soon, but I have mixed feelings about that because I feel so stretched as it is. I have two days off per week currently, and this barely allows me to take care of things at home and study to the extent that I need to. I also need to start scheduling massages for people so that I can practice. Dave has been gracious enough (tee hee) to let me practice on him weekly, but I need more variety (and someone who doesn't fall asleep every time he gets on the table!). I also need to start charging a student rate instead of giving them for free. I think I've earned that! I'll ask for a $30.00 "donation". I need to put an add on Craig's List.

The two things that have been bothering me the most are: I'm not able to visit my family like I want to, and this financial situation is probably going to last until I'm out of school. It's the waiting game. This is just the way it is going to be until next year around this time.

Anyway, I shouldn't complain too much. I still feel like I'm doing the right thing by going to school. It is just hard sometimes to put my life on hold. I miss my family.
