Hey guys, I know we haven’t had an actual discussion in a while on this blog, but I have a question for y’all. Do you feel like that you have too much going on? I mean, not just work, but other stuff? I feel like that in my life I don’t have that much ‘me’ time at all (I realize that “me time” is about one of the corniest things there is, but I really don’t know how else to phrase it). I remember that in college I always seemed to have a number of times a week where I would just sit down and play games for a couple of hours, or put in a movie, or go running, etc. You know, time when I just zoned and was by myself. Recoup time. It is really starting to drain on me. I know that I make too many commitments right now. I teach a Bible study for the high school guys on Tuesday night, try to go to a Bible study on Wednesday night for my own benefit, church on Sundays, I hang out with friends at least 2 times a week, and, of course, spending time with Amber, I just feel like I am always doing something. I’m really tired… not just physically but mentally too. Does anybody else feel like they’ve got this in their life?

it's 5:58 on a Friday night and I'm at work waiting on a render. I am working too much - everyone else gets off at noon. I'm not supposed to be here.
It feels like once you get out of college you get a brick shoved down your throat and are told not to choke. Stop being a normal person, become a working machine.
That's over the top, I'm sure, but I'm pretty burned out right now.

If I'm not busy all the time, I feel like something is wrong. I actually get kind of depressed if I have nothing to do.I guess it depends on your personality but it sounds like you might be doing a little much.

I'm pretty sure I am. Plus, I think it is also just a matter of adjusting to far less free time than when I was in school.

i keep meaning to post my woes and don't have time. that's how much time i don't have. i haven't watched tv in months... i'm in the studios everyday. i quit my job 6 weeks ago and still have no time for anything. it is common for me to be at school in my studio 12+hrs... it is common for me to forget to eat... and my friends here and i all talk about wishing we could go home and do laundry... wash dishes... or sleep... in Ali's case she just wants to go home and play with her cat. If i'm not in the studio i'm interning at the art center... or having beers near school/at/on the way home... or telling boys to stop calling me cause i have no time for them. BUUUUUUUUUUT i am so entirely happy being this busy with friends who are all here as well. OMG i get to go home for Thanksgiving. OMG i have to make bank at this artsale to pay rent... OMG ZACH AND BETH ARE GETTING MARRIED AND I AM GOING TO SEE YOU ALL AND POOP EVERYWHERE. i love you all so much
