Why Do I Choose To Make My Life So Hectic?

A question I am going to attempt to answer...I think it is because I feel productive and accomplished if I am constantly going places, meeting with this person, meeting with that person, completing a homework assignment, going on trips...etc, etc. My first week of class was slightly crazy. It involved me carrying tons of books around to each class, getting 15 minutes to eat lunch before I had to go to work in which I would leave work and then go back to class. My day would finish with me going to cross country running practice (XC), eating a quick dinner and then starting homework. Wake up the next day, repeat.

I didn't even have time to watch my TV shows online until the weekend!!! (life takes priority to entertainment).

This weekend was all devoted to homework, in which I have been very productive. I did take a break on Saturday and went to watch a hog slaughter.

Yes, a hog slaughter.

I have been feeling a bit uneasy and any sort of food tastes a bit off to me since going to the farm. The smells were not exactly those of rose petals and lavender. While we did not actually see the slaughtering of the hog, the screams and squeals of the poor animal were enough to make my stomach churn. The stun gun that is usually used to stun the animal before it is hoisted up on the hooks was broken, so other, more graphic methods, had to be used. I am quite happy I did not have to see this. I fully respect the killing of an animal for its meat (and other parts) now that I partially saw it. Maybe this is why I eat mostly fish instead of any other animal. Its just too much for me to watch. When people asked how the hog slaughter was, I just say it was an....slight pause, experience.

But back to the topic of this post, I have so far accomplished what I wanted when I returned to school, get as involved as possible. I just need to make sure I don't get tooooo involved.
