T.G.I.F.

I won't lie: it's been a kind of long week. At the same time, it's unbelievable to think that it's already September 5. I've gone through fully two weeks of classes and I'm starting to get used to it. That's nice.

However, I am beginning to worry that I'm overloading myself.
I am in or hope to be in the following:
-a job
-academic team
-debate
-RSA
-good academic standing
-a state of consciousness during daylight hours.
-young democrats/students for Obama
-Honors College
-various meteorology-related groups

And the job will probably be the first one I drop. Honestly, the only thing I'm worried about is that it will look good on future job applications. But... I am, first and foremost, a student, right? I was laughing at that the other day. Supposedly, one should study three hours outside of class each week for every credit hour the class is worth. This semester, that means I should be studying 45 hours a week, plus about 15 hours of actual classes. Way more than full time. Definitely not happening. So the job actually seems like a good thing to put away, at least for now. Honestly, just by making it through the next two weeks I'll earn over 200 dollars, if I work as scheduled. Mind, I'm already giving up 5 hours or so tomorrow, whether they like it or not. Who knows, it might be the shortest employment ever... (Not my fault. Football game is a required attendance event for National Merit Scholars and I talked to the manager who said "don't worry, we'll work it out"--very vaguely).

I will post more later tonight, probably, but I have to go to a movie now (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull--not to be confused with the beginning of "The Librarian II", which specifically mentions said skull, two years before this Indiana Jones came out), and I'm posting this now so that the title doesn't become irrelevant.
