Biting off more than you can chew

I am an education major
I am taking an ESOL endorsement
I am an Asian Languages major
I work at INTO helping international students
I run a belly dance club on campus
I am part of Corvallis' belly dance guild

I am supposed to be interning in a kindergarten classroom twice a week
I am supposed to be interning in a college classroom once a week
I am supposed to be helping a Conversation club once a week

And there were several other things on this list before I wrote several apologetic e-mails to people upset I was not following through.  I used to be a volunteer on student trips around the state.  I used to belly dance three days a week.  A long time ago, I used to write every day.

I have always tried to be a trustworthy person, and it deeply bothers me that I have been letting people down this term.  I did not think it would be this hard working part time and taking classes.  Perhaps if I were taking something other than Chinese, I would have time.  Perhaps if I were not married, living off campus with three cats to take care of, I would have more time.  I think we all find time for the vices we enjoy.  Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, they are all time sucks, that to be quite honest, I do not have time for.

And yet I live in such a world that without Facebook, I cannot contact certain people. 

I am going to try though.  Can I go 30 days without Facebook?  Will I have more time to study if I do?  Or will I find a new form of procrastination?  I will find out.
