Nazwalam ten wpis "Odpoczynek" bo wlasnie tego mi brakuje ostatnio. Po prostu nie mam czasu na "nic". Czyli chcialabym usiasc na piec minute i nic nie robic.

Od poniedzialku do czwartku pracuje, chodze na lekcje i spotkania, a potem wracam do domu okolo 8-10 wieczorem i zaczynam lekcje domowe. Normalnie lekcje koncze o dwunastej lub trzeciej nad ranem. Budze sie nastepnego dnia o osmej i zaczynam moj dzien od nowa.

W piatek budze sie o dziewiatej i do dwunastej dzwonie do ludzi na naszej trasie by znalesc miejsca dla nas do spanie w czasie podruzy do Alaski. Ide o dwunastej do firmy prawniczej by pomoc przez dwie godziny, wracam i przebieram sie i jade na rower przez thrzy/cztery godziny, wracam i jem obiad, spotykam sie z jakas kolezanka i ide spac o jedenastej/dwunastej.

Budze sie w sobote o siudmej i wyruszam na rower. Koncze okolo dwunastej/pierwszej i zawsze wtedy cos sie dzieje. Ostatnio pojechalam do Plano, albo mam duzo lekcji do skonczenia, albo organizuje cos dla mojej drugiej organizacji FACE AIDS.

W niedziele zaczynam rano od jazdy rowerem albo odsypiam tydzien. Potem od czwartej do osmej mam spotkania i prace.

I od nowa. OOF

Uwielbiam ten semestr ale juz nie moge sie doczekac do przerwy i odpoczynku.

Dzisiaj, pierwszy raz od dlugiego czasu po prostu usiadlam i porozmawialam z kolezanka przez dwie godziny. Slonce swiecialo, kupilysmy chinskie jedzienie, i usiadlysmy w trawie kolo jeziorka z zolwiami. Wtedy zdalam sobie sprawe jak mi brakuje odpoczynku.

Ale przez ten brak odpoczynku duzo sie nauczylam i duzo przezywam. Wiec strata snu oplaca sie, ale strata zdrowia psychicznego?

No zobaczymy, ale narazie kalendarz "google" zapobiega temu.

I named this post relaxation because that is something I'm definitely not getting enough of.

I don't have time to do "nothing", and I really need some "nothing" time. IE- I want to sit down and think or read or talk about something that's not related to school, work, or organizations. However, in the past two months I have had very little "nothing" time.

From Monday to Thursday I have work, class, and meetings all day. I return to my apartment between 8pm and 10pm, start on homework and usually get to bed between midnight and 3am. I wake up the next morning at 8 am, start homework, go to class, and continue the same pattern.

Friday mornings I wake up at 9am. From 9 to noon I call contacts around the US to make sure we have housing,food, and programs set up for our Texas4000 journey. I then go downtown to volunteer at a law firm for two hours (which I actually put on hold as of today until next semester), and then I come back before three, change, and go for a three to four hour bike ride.

I come back, hopefully get a chance to catch up with one of my friends in the evening, then head to bed around midnight.

Saturday morning I wake up at 7am and head out for our team ride. I get back around 1 pm and always have something planned. A trip home, an organization's event, a test the next week, an essay to write, businesses to visit to ask for help with a FACE AIDS event etc.

Sunday morning I either wake up for a ride (last week was coach's reunion) or sleep in until 10 or 11. Then I work on homework until 3:30 when I head out to work. 4-8pm I have work and organization meetings. I head back home and work on homework until midnight or 3am.

Then it all starts over. wow

I really love this semester because of everything it has to offer. I'm learning so much, meeting so many people, and experiencing wonderful things. I need to rest though. I need some time to do nothing.

The lack of sleep is worth it, but should I sacrifice my sanity? Thankfully, google calender's is preventing that so far.

I love google.
