scheduling life.
you guys ever notice how life gets in the way of things you're planning on doing? like this week, i was planning on working out everyday. it's even written into my planner. and then life decided it had other plans for me, so i spent my evenings away from our apartment until 10pm or so instead, not working out or doing anything productive really. which is sad because i have my last large translation project due on monday and will now be spending my weekend up to my ears in research and reports (and coffee).i was also planning on writing new posts about grand plans, life stories and recipes. shocking then that when i'm not home and still working full time that i didn't get those written, huh?

i don't say all this to throw a pity party for myself, no. more as an attempt to release myself from the standards i hold myself to. the arbitrary standards i set to do certain things and cross items off lists i make. oh, my lists. i'm the queen of lists, i love to cross off those tasks and to-dos. and they're all for what? who am i trying to impress? no one is grading me on these things i do (well, except the translation, i'm definitely getting graded on that).so if life starts to get in the way of what i said i was going to do, then it does. and shouldn't i just be okay with that? shouldn't we all just be okay with that? so one week goes by and i can't work out. it won't be the first time that happens and it certainly won't be the last. so i have to cram all my homework into the only free days i have in my week. that IS the last time i'll have to do that. and you know what? being away from the apartment wasn't all bad. a lot of the stuff i was doing was pretty awesome, i may have to tell you guys about it in the future? sometime? we shall see.

what was the point of this again...? ah yes, life. we just have to live it don't we? all our schedules and planners be damned. and isn't that a better way to do it? i think yes. i think doing it that way makes you feel just a little bit more free.
