Don't you love when you hit that moment when you realize that all of the things you thought you were going to accomplish somehow got lost along the way? I realized that looking at my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. However, I can't regret that I haven't gotten as many things as I would have hoped done. I can't regret that I have been living life. I do want to start knocking some of the things out, but I just need a little time to get my life organized.
I've been reading this book about Juggling Elephants. It has been interesting, and I'm really starting to consider my life in that regard. I try to juggle so many things that sometimes my life gets a little lost in the process. Hopefully I can find the strength to begin to stop focusing solely upon school and my organizations so I can start putting time into my own personal health and religious beliefs along with my relationships.

New semester
So Tuesday begins a new semester. I'm trying out this new blog thing, and I'm definitely thinking I'm going to like it. Even if no one besides my lame sister ;) reads this, it will still be fun. I've started the 101 in 1001 days. Hopefully I can get a good chunk of the things done. That's my goal at least. We'll see how that works.
Starting on Tuesday will be not only the first day of classes but two weeks of interviews. I'm really excited to choose the new Summer Welcome leaders. It will be an awesome experience, and I cannot wait for it to begin. Many of my friends will be graduating from school this semester. Life is about to change and hopefully it's for the best. This may not be true since Bruno Mars is playing right now... haha.
Nothing too exciting going on here. I'll write again, when there is actually something to write about. I leave with a quote to think about from one of the 250 books I'm reading currently :)
