Busy

One of the inherent challenges in deciding to do something completely for personal reasons while being in graduate school is that the moment competing demands begin squeaking too vociferously, we drop all the extra stuff (like blogging).  I have been having a wonderful several weeks filled with success and mobility both at school and at home.  My dissertation is moving again, my client work is challenging but very positive, my family is busy with exciting things, I matched for internship and am preparing to move to a new state in 2 months, I am working to dedicate free time to my friends who I will miss greatly, and my activist project is inching along (who knew how long editing a PSA would take)...  Throughout this, I have had so many ideas for blog posts, and no time I am willing to free up specifically to write them (I have learned over the last several years that cutting into the little sleep I get is a very bad idea).  Oh, the nature of prioritizing!  One of the most important things I can do at times like this is to remind myself that I am only one woman, and have a good laugh about it.  I enjoy this activity, but it is an "extra" and has to take the back burner; accept and love what is.  But I am pouting about it a little.... so I write a short post tonight about being dissatisfied about not posting.  Funny how the silly little things make me feel better sometimes!
