The title will make sense, I promise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video  games.<\/strong> I love them, but I never have enough time to play them  anymore. I got several for Christmas, some of which I haven&#8217;t even tried  yet. I have played both Rock Band and Mario Galaxy, but I&#8217;ve barely  scratched the surface of either. However, I am hoping I will have more  time for them soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Books.<\/strong> I got a few of those for  Christmas, too. Haven&#8217;t even cracked one. That makes me sad because I am  a book person, and the only books I&#8217;m currently reading are the ones  for classes I&#8217;m either taking or teaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job.<\/strong> Speaking  of which, I start teaching for this new online high school next week,  and I have been crazy busy finishing up my training and setting up my  virtual classrooms. As both a teacher and a computer nerd, this job  seems just about perfect so far. I will have kids in the &#8220;classroom&#8221;  starting next week, so wish me luck!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time.<\/strong> I am learning  more and more about time and how little of it there really is. Here it  is almost 4:00 AM, and I can barely shut my mind off enough to sleep. My  fiance thinks I&#8217;m nuts for staying up so late, but I guess I&#8217;ve been  operating at full speed for so long, I&#8217;ve forgotten how to relax and  unwind. Grad school is tough, and I have been at it full time for over  three years. Two Master&#8217;s degrees later, I still need just a few more  courses to add an endorsement to my teaching license. After that, I am  taking a break. I need one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule.<\/strong> Full time work,  half-time student, and planning a wedding. Crazy as it may be, that  sounds refreshing compared to what my schedule has been like since  before I can remember. If I can just keep up with my coursework, keep  the kids engaged in the classes I&#8217;m teaching, and stay on top of this  whole wedding business, this could be the least stressful time of my  life! (No pressure, huh?)  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/redvsblue.com\/assets\/images\/emoticons\/smiley0.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Attitude.<\/strong> To help in this matter, my fiance has told me I need to insert two  words into my attitude &#8212; &#8220;<strong>BITCH<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>NO<\/strong>&#8220;. The main  reason I always end up busy and stressed out is that I am too nice and  take on too many projects for other people. So, my New Year&#8217;s Resolution  is to stop being a nice person. Well, not really. But you know what I  mean.  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/redvsblue.com\/assets\/images\/emoticons\/smiley8.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bear with me on this one.
