As many of you already know, it’s difficult to find balance for all the things in your life when you are going to school full time.  I know I'm having a bit of trouble.  Between work, family, friends, and school, it’s difficult to find time for yourself. I feel guilty just sitting down in front of the TV just for 1 hour to watch my favorite program.  I find myself sitting there thinking...ok I need to finish reading these chapters, I need to study a bit more of this lecture, oh my look how dirty the living room floor is, I need to clean that.  It’s tough to find enough hours in the day.  I had a lecture the other day and the speaker reminded us that we need to take time out for ourselves.  What is it that you really enjoy to blow off steam or just to zone out for a bit?  I find that if I do take that hour off to either go for a run or watch Heroes (which I can't stand to miss) I come back more focused and relaxed.  So in trying to find that balance, don't forget about yourself.
