Living Real Life

I'm sitting here, quite comfortable in my blue computer chair and green plaid pajama pants, though with chilly fingers because I'm in the basement, typing away at the sewing/study table. I feel as though I must have an honest heart-to-heart with you. My blog has been causing a mix of emotions in me lately. I love the community and encouragement and know that blogging is a good way for me to process things in my life and to hopefully share and encourage others. Because of that, I feel rather guilty when I can't get to posting. I also know that real life happens outside of the blog and I'm all bound and determined to live real life. Really, I am. I'll tell you about my life so you will understand where I've been.

This month most of my weeks have looked like this

Monday - work 7am-3pm, come home and crash for a bit, go to bible study

Tuesday - try to do school and catch up on life, work 3pm-11pm

Wednesday - get up late and try hard to catch up again, work 3pm-11pm

Thursday - off, dedicated to chipping at the Math Monster

Friday - same as Thursday, try to get together with friends if possible

Saturday - 7am-3pm, come home and go directly to church

Sunday - 7am-3pm, come home and be exhausted

So yeah, that's why I haven't been around. I've been neglecting a lot of things - my photography(which is why there haven't been pictures on here lately, boooo!), going to the gym (I'm biking to and from work, so I get plenty of exercise) and my writing and sadly enough, my friends. They been busy, too, though. That's the way of things at our age I guess. I'm feeling blessed and rather useful today because I got to 205 problems in math and once I reach 220-something, I'll be done! Also, if you've ever wanted to see a picture of what I would look like if I were seventeen in the 19th century and were rather dour and trying very hard to pose for a photograph, well, you're in luck. My friend JD found this picture for me

In further news, I like you all a lot! Thank you so much for reading my blog and hopefully I will make my little corner of the internet world and useful and blessed place to be.
