Time Withers Away

It's been quite a while since I last updated my blog. To be honest I could think of a million excuses of why I didn't update it, life has just been so busy that time seems to just wither away like dust in the wind.

Most of my days are spent at school (obviously) but my after school activities have been severely increased. After school drama has dominated my life from the hours of 3 - 7. By the time I get home all I want to do is absolutely nothing, and that would be lovely if that was the case.

Aside from this quarter, I have been on top of my lesson plans and grading. However, ever since the drama progressed, my motivation to be ahead of the game has dwindled down. So once evening strikes and I actually get home, I am grading and doing lesson plans - which is a totally new and foreign concept that is not my favorite thing to do. Ever since college I have been an overly-ambitious lesson planner, and having my lesson plans be put off till a few days before makes me absolutely crazy. I'd rather be ahead of the game, rather than come face to face with each day's lesson.

I'd like to say I cannot wait for the drama to be done so I can get back into my routine, but I have to admit that a change of pace is always good. I guess it's a contradictory lifestyle filled with both pros and cons.

I feel like the past few weeks have been nothing but a blur but adventure hides around every corner. I wish I could recount all the little things that made my life so enjoyable, despite the fact that they may be petty. So to sum everything up in my spare time I visited some friends (in the late hours of the evening, seeing my schedule is rather inflexible these days), got a new kitten called Sassy (who is the cutest and whiniest kitten I've ever came across), and watched a record amount of movies (to keep me trucking along in my grading and lesson planning). Yes, it doesn't sound so exciting, but it was truly relaxing.

As the days roll on, I realize how quickly life passes before your eyes. You blink and nearly a month passed by, blink again and maybe a year. In recent weeks, I've really learned to appreciate all that God has given me and not to take it for granted. It is this life that we have such a short time (although some days may seem eternal compared to others) and never truly know when we will pass on into eternity. Everyday is full of blessing, you just need to keep your eyes open to see them.
