No time for work (or play)

I just finished compiling my schedule for September, and it's looking like a doozy. Between dance classes, a show at the end of the month, classes for school, and my day job... well, let's just say I hope there's another one of me to help me do it all...

Why do I do it? Because it's fun (no really). Am I going to get stressed out about it? Hell yeah. Am I going to do it anyway. Probably forever.

I couldn't do it without the support I'm given every day by the generous soul of a partner I have (Thanks Sammy) But most of the time, I don't think either of us would have it any other way. Now I just have to find a way to practice burlesque and do homework at the same time! Then my life will finally be complete!

How Can One Person Do It All?

I wonder, how can I do it all?

Research
Write
Go to class
Work
Make Costumes
Plan Shows
Dance classes
Dance practice
Work out (so to keep my girlish figure)
Make friends
Keep friends
Meet with thesis supervisor
Edit papers
Be a supportive partner
Clean the apartment
Write in the blog

How does one person do it all? Yet, how can I not do it all. Were I to stop I don't think I would be me.

I think it may be time for a PDA, a calendar, and a class on time management.

Let's begin... in the middle?

We start, of course, with "The Big Finish". No, not because were done already, but because we're well past the start. To catch everyone up real quick, the last year has had stuffed into it:

• The start of one thesis (Rani) and nearly the end of another (Sammy)
• Lots and lots and lots of performances (Rani) and even more photos of said performances (Sammy)
• Groups (performance and otherwise) come and gone; friendships with them (but were they really friends to begin with if they're not still around?)
• Travel (around the world and around the block)
  
• Stress... oh boy, yes stress
• ...but also lots and lots of fun (the photos say it all!)

The most important thing, though, is two lives becoming intertwined... meeting as photographer and model, sitting for coffee and finding common research interests (despite wildly disparate fields).

Seems an obvious pairing right from the start, doesn't it?
