My own worst enemy

I'm currently in the middle of rehearsals for the Aquinas College production of "Chicago". In addition to these rehearsals, I have classes, my internship, extra curriculars, and a new found freedom of being 21. While I love staying busy and actively involved, sometimes I wonder if it's too much for one person. Am I able to tell when I've taken on too much responsibility? The answer is no, but I'm getting better.
I'm starting to realize that I am my own worst enemy. I tend to bite off more than I can chew, and I'm also very critical of myself. I recently talked with my internship coordinator and supervisor about my schedule, as well as my progress at my internship. I was being WAY too critical of myself, and not realizing how much I've learned since I started there in October or how much of an asset I've been to the organization. Instead I was focusing on the little things that made me worry if I was doing my job right. I need to learn to focus on my accomplishments rather than my failures. In order to do this, I need to choose the activities I really care about succeeding in over the ones that I should do because "it will look good on my resume" or "it's not that much of a time commitment".
I decided to drop one of my classes, realizing that I don't need to take a full amount of credits each semester to get my money's worth for my tuition. Fortunately it won't mess up my plan to graduate next year (whoa, I graduate from college next year!). Just because I can do something doesn't always mean I should. My sanity is much more rewarding than burying my life in books and missing out on what the world outside of college has to offer. While it feels weird not taking a full 18 credits, and I haven't done this technically since freshman year, in the long run this decision is one step closer for me actually having a social life outside of school AND decent grades.

I'm back!

I haven't posted on here for a few weeks, and a break was much needed. I realized I wasn't producing as good of posts (in my opinion) by writing several in one week. Instead, I'll try to post at least twice a week to keep things fresh.
Let's see, what has happened in the past 2/3 weeks....actually a lot of things!
1. Got another stage manager job for next semester for the musical Chicago!
2. One of my dogs was put to sleep. Rest in Peace Maggie, you will be deeply missed ♥ 10/2/12

 3. I will be traveling to Bethlehem Farm, West Virginia for Fall Break!
4. I no longer have to wear my splint for my hand. However I have to keep it just in case, as well as wrap it whenever I have to do any physical activity like volleyball or soccer (only soccer based off of how much I fall).
5. Art Prize 2012! I got to see some great pieces of art, as well as participate in Light the Night Grand Rapids (photos coming later!)
