Balancing Life, Universe, and Everything

This has taken me quite a while to write.  Too much real life stacked up in front of me while I had other things planned.  A friend's 30th birthday was cut short short for me, which took away the chance to see long time good friends that I have not seen in a while.  School work piled up t the point where assignments were being handed in as a bare minimum of what they could have been.  And my boss seems to think I live at her beck and call during the month of September.

These last two weeks felt like one giant loop; a hazy cycle that never found its end.  That is what is necessary when one decides working full time, studying full time, and having a full time social life.

The Waterfall - by Escher

Each one of those elements are necessary.  Work to pay the rent, school to get a head, and friends for sanity.  Too bad once all those things group together in the same week, sanity sneaks out the back door.

On that note, tonight is a night off.  Assignments are done, work has not called, but a couple friends are waiting at the bar.
