So, recently my friend G had linked to a study that found people tend to think they'll have more free time in the future, and so, it was easier to get people to commit to things, the further off they were.
Of course, people don't have more time in the future, they just think they will.
I, at least, know I have no free time. My weekends all have at least one event on them (if not a trip) from now until May. I'm trying to take a break in may because I'd like to do some gardening then. Come June - we're back to every weekend, some of which will have to juggle once I find out when I walk for graduation. July is filling. August is pretty empty, but we'd like to camp sometime this year, both as a family and with friends. And there is GenCon in August, which I'm trying not to think about too hard.
So, I've been busy, and even minutely managing time to try to accomplish goals. I stayed off IM tonight so that I could finish my homework. I wanted to get grad party evites out tonight, but as I type it is 9:05, and that means I must retreat to my bed to read Wicked for an hour, so that I can finish the book before I see the musical.
But, since my homework is done, hopefully I can call the friend who needs to talk to me tomorrow night, and get the evites out, and perhaps even something else, since I have a doc appnt that should have me home well ahead of my normal arrival time.
Still, just knowing that I'm full up til May is a bit exhausting in and of itself. Even if it's full of goodness.
