I thought I was tough (I coulda’ been a contender?) I thought I could take a lot of shit, and it appears that I can take a lot, but my one year anniversary in Illinois is fast approaching, and it hasn’t gotten any easier.<\/p>\n
I must say the whole commute to Chicago every week is slowly draining me. Even with working from home two days out of the week, I’m not sure it’ll be enough for the long haul. I think I can continue like this for maybe another year at best. After that, who knows.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the schedule is going to go insane, if I go through with plans on getting a Masters degree. I think my poor brain will explode. Right now, I’m pretty much a zombie on weekends. Sure, I do stuff, but if I let my zombie brain take over, I would be sitting, doing nothing most of the day. It’s bad enough with having internet access, I can’t imagine how I would be with a TV (yes, that’s right we don’t have a TV… well, we do, but it’s not hooked up… it’s still in the box, down in the basement. it’s complicated).<\/p>\n
So… for any of you out there with crazy schedules where you split your week between home and some other place… what do you do to keep your energy up? Right now I do recreational activities like board games, rpgs, etc. Basically stuff that I can do with other people, that allows me to relax and have fun. I would go out to dance (cuz you know I love it so damn much), but the dance music around here lies somewhere between bad and suck.<\/p>\n
Later gang… back to work…
