Crazy Life

Crazy past few weeks.  My typical schedule looks like this...School: Monday - Thursday; Work: Mondays & Thursday - Saturday nights.  Not too bad.  I go to school, have work a few nights, and typically have about 2 days of down time to catch up and regroup for the next week.

But not recently.  Three weeks ago, we were required, as a class, to go to a Dental Hygiene convention in Salt Lake City on Friday & Saturday.  It was scheduled from 8-5, which really means 6:30 am - 6:30 pm.  Yeah, totally sucked.  There goes my 2 days of relaxing for the week.  Luckily we got out early on Saturday, but I still had work that night, so it wasn't really a break.

For the past 2 weeks, my school has decided to add on Friday classes.  I don't know how it is for you, but having classes all day, 5 days a week, SUCKS.  Like school isn't stressful enough, we need to add a couple 5 day weeks to our already crazy, intense program.  Since when did we have to make-up classes for Thanksgiving break?? (which, by the way, is only Wednesday & Thursday).  Geesh!

Next on the list..crazy work week.  This week, instead of working 16 hours, I'll be working 30.  Yes - almost double what I'm already working.  Yes, I get myself into this, but I can't help the fact that I don't want to be stressed about money.  I figure a week of stress at work will be less stress at the end of the month...or when Christmas comes, or when I really want a cheeseburger at In-N-Out.  You can see what my priorities are. =]

The only plus side about having a crazy life right now, is the fact that Ben's schedule is just as crazy as mine.  He has tests, papers, presentations and club meetings almost constantly.  He's in both the Dental club and Finnish club presidencies...who knew my man was so involved? =]]  Not only that, but he has started taking a DAT (Dental Admission Test) prep class and has somewhat started studying for the test he'll take in Spring.  Yikes!

So, yes, life is busy.  Life is crazy.  Life is stressful.  But hey, that's life, right?  I'd rather be living this crazy life than hanging around making and eating cake pops, brownies, cookies and other delicious treats constantly...oh waiiiit...I'd definitely rather be doing that.  Oh well..at least I'm in better shape NOT having time to make and eat those things all the time.  I'll count my blessings! =]]]
