Everything is scheduled

This will be short, because its not written into my scheduled. I'm finding a harsh reality early into my schedule this semester. Every hour of my day is scheduled. From the time I wake up until the time I go to bed is booked. 

I'm not one that loves routine to things to be the same. In face, I thrive in change and when things look different. Yet I'm finding that every Monday will look the same as the Monday before, Tuesday the same as the last and so on. Thats not good for me. The reason is that if it didn't, I'd have no chance of getting things done. Everything done to when I eat, spend time with the Lord, go to Kinkos to make copies, hang out with people, sit and relax is scheduled it. Its bad.

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my jaw. When I was there I found out that I have to go back to the surgeon in Bham. In order for me to do that I'm having to cancel on two people next week just for me to fit in that appointment with the surgeon. I mean, thats not healthy. But literally, everything in my schedule right now is something I have to do...meetings with staff, the girls I disciple, prep time for meetings, bible study, weekly meeting, church, sleep, eating, time with the lord, and a little play. What in there can I cut out? If someone comes up to me at the weekly meeting...or I meet a random student on campus and they say hey can we get together, I'd pretty much have to say no. Or I'd have to bring someone along with me. Somethings gotta give and I need to change something around. I'm not loving this. 

I love that I'm needed here for sure, thats a good thing, but this cannot last.

Ok, too much time that wasn't scheduled in...I gotta run.
