Neverending Life

My crazy life has just gotten crazier!  I just made another commitment.  Let's look at the ones I already have:
School - I'm a full-time student, attending classes three days a week, 12 credit hours, all in upper level English and History (which means a lot of reading and papers).  Furthermore, this also ties up hours three days a week just getting to and from school.
Work - Still working at Subway (about 20 hours a week) and as it's my last semester at school, I'm expected to find another job for the Spring, because heaven forbid I earn $8.50 after all the money spent on college tuition!
Social - Somehow, my circle of acquaintances and friends is growing.  There are more chances to socialize and, to be honest, I do want to go out and have fun.  The flip side of that is what I call "The Ashley Factor."  If it starts popping up on my Wall that I've been doing this or that with Amy or Lindsey, I need to make sure I at least try to hang out with Ashley or I will be subjected to her sulking (although, in her defense, Amy can get a bit upset when I know more about Lindsey's life than she does).  I love these girls, but any time you have multiple women in a group of some sort, there will be petty jealousies.
And now I'm adding Small Business Owner!  What the heck was I thinking?  It's an online business, selling homemade jewelry and the like with Lindsey.  So I can let it take over as much or as little of my time as I want.  And I'm very much enjoying it so far; I have excuses to play around with things I can call "Inventory" and crunch numbers to figure out the exact cost to make a bracelet and the profit margin after fees are removed.  Had I known myself in high school the way I know myself now, I'd have a business degree right now, instead of most of an English degree (although I absolutely love English... and History.  I guess I'm a woman of many interests).  It's also nice to be able to sit down and watch an episode of Big Bang Theory and finish with a necklace to sell. Speaking of... I have one I made at school today that I need to put the finishing touches on and then I really do need to go to bed.
Ciao!
