As if this semester can't possibly fill my schedule enough, I'm still falling behind. I'm constantly tired, but doing my best to balance all aspects of my life: school, work, girlfriend, and gaming. Right now I'm beginning to think that I'm only built for three out of those four at a time. Something's got to give.
With warmer weather slowly returning to Northwest Ohio, I'm beginning to feel a bit better about everything in general. Unfortunately, feeling positive and doing well are two different things. First is school: I'm not doing nearly as good as I think I am. The easiest answer for this is to shift time away from some other aspect of my life in order to boost study time. I can do that - but bye-bye games I suppose. I came into this semester playing games casually: plenty of focus on school and work, but some Wii on the side. As the semester progressed, I have slowly been drawn into more and more games: new Wii games, Virtual Console games, and lots of DS action - not to mention Audiosurf.
With the warmer weather taking over, I know that I need to get outside more often. In order to make time for this, something has got to go: video games, perhaps? As much as I hate to admit it, the reoccurring pattern is undeniable: despite being a gamer at heart, it's constantly getting in the way of other things in my life, and I need to balance my time with them better.
It is hard to say exactly how this semester will end up, but with less than seven weeks remaining, I have a lot of work to do in order to stay ahead. Warm weather will help my spirits a lot, so I hope that this cold, crappy, over-extended winter can get out of here and make way for a more positive future for me.
Out.
