Making plans

So many plans. So little time.
I have to get in gear and start thinking about planning my days down to the minute. Or at the very least, down to the hour. And then I have to stick to the plan. I also have to be realistic with my assumptions regarding time commitments to given projects. I have an unfortunate tendency to overbook myself or not allow enough time for given tasks.

This semester includes:
  • 13 credit hours (3 weekly classes, 1 class that meets for 3 full weekends, 1 all-weekend workshop)
  • 4 TA hours/week (TBA)
  • 6 Lillstreet open-studio monitor hours in the print and textiles studio
  • 1 weekend of teaching a (Sat) Papermaking and (Sun) Bookbinding (each a 6 hour class + prep time)
  • 3-5 possible photography bookbinding workshops (3 hours each)
  • 4 hours at my part time job (once every 2-3 weeks only)
  • Countless hours of out-of-class homework, reading, writing, and working on art projects
  • Possible 5 week class at Lillstreet (up for debate)
I'm swamped, and I haven't even started yet.
My first classes are on Jan. 28th.

I have some time to figure things out and devise a proper schedule for all of the above.
I'm making it happen.

  2. Talk about time management? I can only have two major committments at once. I really wish I could take classes. I've had classes with you and I am very confident that you've got the stuff. You are organized, girl. The most important thing is to have fun. When the fun leaves, it's just not worth it. Best to you.
