i haven't written in a while...

i haven't written anything for quite a while. I don't know why. i obviously have plenty of time to write and i also have the internet in my apartment up here in idaho. i have no excuses. i even browse and comment on other peoples blogs. i guess i was just lazy. Or...i just wasn't busy enough to blog.

i know that sounds crazy. i wasn't busy enough to blog? yes, thats right. I have a theory about this. The less things you have to do throughout the day, the smaller percentage of those things get done. The more things you have to do throughout the day, the bigger percentage of those things get done.

i don't know why this is true in my life, but it is. for example...in high school i was extremely busy. i was on two dance teams. One was for the school and the other was a private studio. My responsibilities for the school team were to be to practices, which were sometimes at 6am (usually during the end of the semester when i had a lot of tests to study for), perform in assemblies and sports half-times, choreograph dances, and plan fun activities. Then for the private studio i was required to go to classes 4-5 days a week for an average of 3 hours each day. On top of that i was going to conventions, competitions, and performing in recitals or charity events. if that wasn't enough i was taking honors classes, teaching some dance classes, cleaning the dance studio (well, my dad helped a lot with this) to pay for tuition, playing the piano for church and for fun, going to girls camp or youth conference, and trying to fit a social life in. To say the least, i was a busy girl! yet, i was able to get everything done with only a couple breakdowns throughout the years. somehow i pulled off straight A's almost every term. i really don't know how i did it and how i functioned with such little sleep! (well, my mom did provide cliff's notes for me because she would always see me asleep with my english books on my face while i was in bed). My point is, is that i was so busy, yet i got just about everything done!

now...i am married and going to college and being a janitor. But, jarred is at work for long hours a few days a week. I only am taking 4 classes and my janitorial job only goes from 4am-6:30ish am 5 days a week. so i am left with all sorts of time to waste away. I am still doing fine in my classes, but with all of my free time, you'd think i'd be getting A's on all my tests. I'm not failing at all, but with the hours of free time i have you'd think i would at least spend more than about an hour studing for tests.

Also, with all this free time, i don't fit in the blogging that i used to. Last fall semester i was pretty busy because i was going back and forth between rexburg and provo just about every weekend to plan a wedding and taking 5 classes, plus trying to lose weight so i could look good in a wedding dress. I did a lot more blogging than i have now when i have plenty of time to do it! blogging would add more of the business to my life, which helped me be able to get everything done.

The reason i'm blogging now is because i have a 5 page english paper due on thursday and since blogging makes my day a little busier, its the best thing to do with my time right now so that i will get my paper done for thursday. make sense? not really, but it works for me!
