Throw in school, and my siblings' activities like band, basketball and baseball and it makes for a fuller schedule than it appears.
For my "super" senior year, I'm doing business math, Human Biology, Spanish (still...) and an assortment of history, writing and literature books. For the first time, I get to choose what I'd like to do, instead of what I need to graduate! The beginning of school is always exciting, with new books and the prospect of interesting things to learn, but the excitement usually fades very quickly for me. This year I anticipate enjoying my "school" work much more. Mostly because I don't feel like it IS school, since I'm learning things that will be useful and interesting for me!
Along with school-type books, I've also selected several books on Christianity, health, etc. to read as a part of school this year... an idea that I got from Meredith. =) I began with Stepping Heavenward on Sunday, and finished it Monday in the car as we drove to Wilmington to visit my Nana. I've never been able to read in the car without feeling sick before, so I've either outgrown it, or the book was just so engrossing that I didn't feel sick... whatever is was, I REALLY enjoyed Stepping Heavenward!
I'm also adjusting my sleeping schedule so that I go to bed earlier, and get up earlier. When I was younger I didn't understand why "early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," but now I realize that you get so much more productive work done when you get up early. It truly gives you more DAY time, and as my late evenings are usually spent in some unproductive activity like TV or computer, I think rising early is an important habit for me to form. It is also healthier, because 10pm-2am are the best hours of sleep, and if you get those hours of sleep you can spend less time sleeping, but still wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
I'm so excited about everything this school year may hold!

Not sure about that last one, I experienced a burst in lucidity around from 8pm to 10pm last night after consistently staying up late. :)
But then again, I'm not really a morning person.
Yeah, I'm not much of a morning person either, so while those might be the best hours to get good sleep, getting up early isn't going to help me accomplish much because I move super-slowly in the morning.
Still...I should perhaps try to sleep those hours AND sleep in. :D
And wow, that's a lot of stuff! I don't know how you people do it. I couldn't stand to have something going on every day of the week. :P
Yes...my grandma says that somewhere around 10:00 to 10:30 you get your second wind, and it's best to be in bed before that happens. :) That said....this post makes me happy!
