A Crazy Week

So, I have no idea where I am this week.

I feel like every second I'm so busy or inundated with new information that I can't process anything. I know that that means two things:

ONE
I need to start journaling again. This is different from blogging because my journal is for my eyes only. I can write whatever I need to and I don't have to hold myself back. Some things aren't appropriate to write in a blog, y'all know that. And blogging for catharsis isn't feasible all the time. "I'm feeling overwhelmed! Let me pull out my laptop and find a wireless connection..."

TWO
I need to CALM DOWN and SLEEP. Calming down involves me sitting in one place for a few hours with a good book. Sleep is just as you thought. I have to get a lot because my chronic pain problems wear me out. I think that I function best on 8-10 hours of sleep for a normal day. I have been getting closer to 6 lately. Ahh!

So, with that, I hope to have a better week next week! This week is probably down the drain. ALTHOUGH my whole foods diet has been great this week! My snacks have been whole trail mix (no chocolate or sugar or processed anything in it), my meals have been as close to whole as I can get in GDH and in Springs I get a spinach salad with grilled chicken (yum, people, YUM!) and I've been drinking water or hot tea. Of course I put a bucket of sugar in my tea, but I'm working on weaning myself! And I use Stevia from time to time when I sweeten my tea in my room.

So, that's a positive note to end on =]

Grace and peace,

The Greek Language

and I don't get along well. I am just not understanding it quickly enough and my frustration has resulted in a repugnance for the class, thus a lack of studying/studying at the last minute which leads to a lack of understanding. It's a terrible circle.

In other news, college is going well in every other class. I hate orchestra but what can I do? I'm stuck with it for a year and I'll see what I can do with my scholarship package to do something else. Right now I'm a music minor but we'll have to see if I can still do that without orchestra. It remains to be seen whether I can quit. However, I am LOVING my private piano lesson so there you go.

I haven't really gotten anywhere with getting my chronic pain problems resolved, I think that at this point a heating pad and less time at the keyboard are going to help me out. I know that when my feet or hands get cold they really hurt, so as long as I keep them warm there's not much of a problem. My gimp knee has been really loose lately; a sign that I need to hit the gym.

I've found myself a home at the local Episcopal church. If you had told me this 6 months ago, I would have laughed in your face. But now I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be.


Signing out for now to eventually study Greek,
Brookie.
