So, I'm going to be a little scarce. I'm adjusting to the reality of my new schedule and I really need to buckle down and get some work done, because otherwise my procrastination is going to be the death of me, because I'm suddenly really, really busy.

Monday: English (ENC1101) 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., but my mom's class doesn't get out until 8:40, and she's my ride
Tuesday: College Algebra (MAC1101) 8:00 to 9:20 a.m., choir 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Wednesday: English 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Thursday: College Algebra 8:00 to 9:20 a.m.
Friday: Worldview 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.

I've also got AP Government and Latin II online (omg need to FINISH THESE CLASSES D:), am supposed to get in an hour of PSAT prepwork every weekday and two hours on weekends, do all the grocery shopping, get in at least 20 minutes of exercise a day, do homework, make sure I've got rides to places (which in my house is way harder than it sounds, hence my rather large amounts of biking), keep the house clean, make sure that we have dinner every night (I'm often the one cooking it), wash dishes 3 nights a week, and take all my pills.

Every time I go over that list it looks longer. O.o

Anyways, point being having three college-level classes and having to take care of most of the house cleaning/grocery shopping/meals planning/meals making* is kind of scaring me, especially after last week when I totally slacked off and just watched Herores for several days and I'm going to be a little scarce. And if I'm not, please tell me I should be. Oh my god, I don't know why I'm even thinking about doing NaNoWriMo. I can't even find the time to finish and edit two fairly small pieces! *dies*

*My mom is teaching 7 classes for 4 different colleges. I'm the oldest kid home, so I get dropped with the taking care of everyone else stuff.

What is the worldview course about?

It's a Christian-based course on, well, worldviews and how they compare to Christianity. It's probably going to end up driving me insane, but it's only for one semester so I can take it. I think. I just need to remember not to be all 'ARRRRRGH' openly in class, because all the students are homeschooled Christians, and I don't want them all shunning me. :P

Oh interesting! I'll be having to read about Christian ideology sometime this semester I think, so we can compare notes about that. Are the worldviews the views of other religions, or do you also do like political worldviews and stuff?

that would be loads of fun! Christian ideology, I haz it. :P It's all sorts of worldviews - religions, naturalism, all the various forms of atheism/agnosticism/etc., and political worldviews definitely figure into that, though they tend to be linked more to what they originate from. it's actually pretty interesting, and I'm enjoying learning about it, though I think I'd appreciate a less Christian slant, but oh well.

Oh, wow, Betsy, that is a lot of work. Good luck, though! I know you can do it :D

I think I've gotten past freaking out and am now at the initial work hard stage. Now I just need to make that last a long time, because the next stage is 'WHATEVER, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE' when I start procrastinating again. D:

Oh, man, your list looks terrifying! Speaking from personal experience as a procrastinator, though, the only time I was ever on top of things was senior fall when I had SO MUCH TO DO OH GOD, and somehow that meant it all got done. Good luck?

What are you doing in Latin? :D :D Also, do NaNo! I am going to try it again this year (as soon as I, uh, come up with a plot), we can compare word counts?

And I second Lass's interest in your worldview class, it sounds like it could be really fantastically interesting or really bad. Sometimes I have found that framing questions in a more hypothetical sense can make people less likely to shun you, though?

I'm hoping that will work for me, because I do manage to get insane amounts of stuff done when I absolutely HAVE to. *crosses fingers* thanks!

I'm about to do Indirect Statements - my teacher warned me ahead of time that if I'm not careful I'll explode my brains thinking too hard about them. :P oh, awesome! I'm going to try really really hard to do NaNo. yay for comparing wordcounts and cheering each other on!

it's really interesting once I can get around the Christian slant. yeah, I've been trying to keep myself from sounding confrontational and keep it all just discussion and friendly. it's kind of hard for me sometimes, because there's this one complete and total ditz in the class who insists on talking a lot and everything she says is just recycled from the people she knows. I have a hard time just keeping quiet while she talks and not being rude to her. and this framing questions hypothetically sounds useful! I shall have to remember this. *makes note*

AHAHAHA, that is all I have to say to indirect statements. Your teacher's right, though, don't think too hard about them, it won't help. (AHAHAHA)

Hmmm, what stuff have you been talking about/has she been saying? Sometimes it really helps to be, like, you know--"I'm not saying I believe this [non-Christian thing] but hypothetically, why are there good people who aren't Christian and bad people who are?" that sort of thing. I've found that sometimes people are better about engaging if they don't think they have to be defensive.
