Priorities
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Last Friday over a well-deserved glass of white wine, one and my best friends and I inadvertently came across the subject of priorities. I'm not going to lie, she was actually the one who introduced the topic, but it got me thinking about what is important in my life at this exact moment, and how your immediate priorities affect your immediate day-to-day life. We were just chatting, and she came up with something similar to this; 'I feel like I have two priorities at the moment - my degree and my sanity. They are about all I can handle'. I thought about my answer for a second, and then decided that I had double the number of immediate priorities as her - my degree, my sanity, my blog, and my health and fitness - but due to the larger number, I feel like none of them are as 'stable'. Whenever one or two of them are running smoothly, at least one of them is completely falling apart - I can be on my blogging game but have my mind swirling, or more commonly, I could be working really hard on trying to graduate with a decent degree, and I end up mistreating or neglecting my body and/or my blog.
No matter how much I enjoy blogging or how much my readers mean to me, this is the last chance I have to up my academic game so it has to come above all right now, despite how much I dislike it the majority of the time. I hate writing these posts, explaining once again why I'm being a shit blogger, but this is the last one you will hopefully see in a while. My last exam should be around the 22nd May, but until then I'm going to be a busy little bee. However, this isn't to say that I'm going to give up blogging until then, I am simply going to continue on as I am, but if I disappear for a week, miss a posting day, or forget to reply to comments for a week or two, then you'll know why. I'll try to keep things as normal and regular as possible, because after all I do love blogging, but I can't afford to not put my everything into my degree now when it's so close to the finish line.
I hope you'll stick around whilst I try to keep my life together, and this summer shall see my epic return!!
