"Sleep don't come easily"

Well since I started school today I decided that I'd better make some goals for myself:

1. Stay on top of my school work.I am the world's biggest procrastinator. I need deadlines, I need to be babysat or else I'll wait till the last possible second do my work. I need to set my own deadlines this year, because lets be honest, its about time that I start getting good grades, or "reaching my full potential" as my advisor would say.

3. Go to class. I know this sounds like a pretty simple goal, but if you know me at all then you know that this is no simple task. I have no concept of time. My friends, family and boss can attest to this. If I tell you that I will meet you somewhere at a certian time, do yourself a favor and don't expect me for another half hour. Sorry, being late is one of my many faults. I'm pretty sure it's genetic. If you've met my mom or grandma then you know what I'm talkng about. My dad says we run on "Arney time" (Arney is my Grandma's maiden name) because all the women in my family are burdened with this curse and the men are convinced that when their daughters are late, it is not from their side of the family. So in light of this little disease that I have, I don't do well when I am told that I have to be somewhere at a certain time, and I am expected to be there on time. Usually I find something better to do or get sidetracked and blow off class entirely. Since goal #1is to get good grades and stay on top of my work, I think I should probably go to class because something tells me those two go hand in hand.

3. Prioritize my time. As mentioned above, I'm not very efficient with my time. Frankly, I kinda suck when it comes to getting stuff done. My walk-in closet is a great example of this. The floor is covered with dirty clothes, while there are few items that are actually still hung up. Those items consist of things given to me for christmas that are either too small or are completely...um...well...we'll just say they aren't my style. There is un upside to only doing laundry once a month though. The task of folding and putting away clothes is filled with the surprise discovery of finding items that I never remembered I had. It's like going shopping for free once a month! I love it! Anyway, I have so much going on this semester with my three different jobs, class, teaching a children's areobics class and nannying twice a week. I really need to buckle down and make the most of what little free time I will get.

Well, those are the only goals I have time to wirte down now, and frankly, I think the task will be all I can handle right now. Off to my next class!
