"I've got too much (clap clap) time on my hands"

Well, today was the first day of the semester. Wednesdays just happen to be my busiest day of the week, so today I had every class I'm registered for. Now let's reflect on that term I used busiest....we'll come back to this. After each class/lesson/advising session, I was pumped. My history class seems like it will be chill yet informative, enjoyable and mangeable. I love a class that requires work ougbof you but makes it manageable and easy to learn. Of course I found out that this class ends with a paper....another paper is the last thing I need but the nerd in me was excited to have to write about a contemporary piece. Next, my voice lesson was less of a lesson and more of a "let's finalize your recital" needless to say, have the entire recital final made me litterally giddy with excitement. I live singing, but even more, I love performing. This recital's music is so diverse, it completely shows me. I love EVERY piece on my recital. None of them are programed only because they fufill a requirement. Seriously, I am totally nerding out about my recital music and therefore, my recital document. The next chapter I'm going to work on is dealing with the treatment of "abscence" in french poetry and music, refering to my two amazing french pieces. I  so ready to begin research.
Next I met with my pedagogy advisor about my voice students and my big ped project. I walked in with a less than vague topic and came out with an entire plan with deadlines. Wow. What a productive day! To top it off I completed some necessary paperwork before going home.

Today felt great....but then I made a schedule and realized how much "free" time I had. Now ' begining to worry. While I need this time to do work, and it's not technically free, I have a huge discapline problem. I am not busy enough to get my work done! However wjen I was super busy last semester all i did was stress and I'm fairly sure that is what got me so sick. So how to use my time wisely without streasing....gonna be tough.

  1. Schedule "Study Hall" hours. Make yourself study somewhere like the library so studying will be your only option. Make it fun. Bring candy. Sneak coffee.

    1. Yeah, I did schedule those times...my issue is finding a cozy place to work. Tere has to be somewhere that I like. I have yet to find a comfy starbucks or cafe that is conducive to long working hours
