Not much has happened this past week to give me inspiration for this article. Why not? Because of school, of course! I'm only half-kidding. I feel like I did a ton of homework this week! At the beginning of the week I made a long to-do list, and I almost got through the entire thing! Not only did I work on homework every day (with the exception of Friday), I also accomplished a few of my own goals - I added new content to the site, prepared it for more content (for when my lazy friend finally writes a logic puzzle for me), and made huge strides in a Java program I am working on.

The problem is that I had to keep adding to the list through the week! Naturally, professors assign more homework as soon as you turn some in. That's OK - that's what they're supposed to do. But it's almost like a feeling of defeat when I cross one thing off my list every day but add two more.

What bothers me the most is that I can look back on the week and realize that I didn't accomplish any of my most important goals. This is the real reason getting more and more homework and stuff to do bothers me so much. I keep adding more and more homework to the list, and even crossing more homework off. But at the end of the week, I still haven't started exercising regularly, I still haven't lined up a job for this summer, I still haven't taken care of my missing college credits, I still haven't used my hands to build something. All the things I think are important, it just usually slips my mind to add them to my list because they are not due by a specific time. So you know what? Next week will probably fly by and I still won't have done any of those things. This is what can be depressing.

Now I'm going to go add my important goals to my list. Like I said, though, they are not due by a specific date, so I know I will focus on my homework that is due and still put them on the back burner. It's a vicious cycle. I guess there's just not enough time?
