I am one day away from the end of the second week of college, and I'm finding that I have less time than before I started college. I underestimated the amount of homework and readings that would be assigned this early on, and I didn't anticipate picking up as many hours at home health care as I have. I also have many friends wanting to meet up, and trying to make it to a lot of Friday night football games is taking up a lot of my time.
For now I am focusing on college and homework. Every weekday I have a class that starts at 8:00am and most days I am done by noon. In a perfect world, I would be able to be home alone to focus on homework and readings until my siblings get home from school around 3:45pm. But recently I have been picking up hours at work due to another coworkers needing to take off for family reasons. I'm not upset about picking up the extra hours, extra hours means extra money, right? It's just hard to get homework done when I have to be somewhere else.
I wouldn't say my personal relationships have suffered, but I definitely don't have the amount of time to spend with friends that I would like to. This Saturday I'm going to be meeting up with my mom, a couple of her friends, and my friend Joey to do the Steppin' Out in Pink walk, but for now that is about as social as my social life is going to be until I fall back into working just every other weekend.
