Fighting Time

I was just on the computer trying to get some things done for a project for another class and I realized that I haven't made another post yet for this week so I guess I should. The important matter at he moment seems to be my focus at the moment, and in the recent years it has been increasingly so. I just don't seem to have enough time to complete all of my requirements all of the time. I have no balance, although sometimes convince myself I do. There is always something that I could focus more on, my laundry for example, or my social life, calling my little sisters, working more to make more money, unpacking boxes, arranging furniture, working out, cooking and eating healthier food, going to the doctor for a flu shot etc. I also find it difficult at times to focus fully on all of my classes equally all of the time, it seems that something always drags behind. The passing of time is something else I find frustrating, something I can't control, it's happening as I write and as you read this, it's unstoppable (for me at least, unless you have access to a time machine or a superpower you're holding out on). Time is something that I am very aware of as of late, the perception of time I also find very interesting. Like on the bus for example, waiting to get to a destination, and the time during traffic hour will barely seem to be moving yet you look down at your watch and suddenly an hour has passed and you're not there yet. In contrast time can seem to move incredibly fast (which is usually the case for me) last week you ha an assignment and the next class seems so far away, you plan to do things for that assignment on certain days at certain time slots, thing arise, that assignment or other projects seems to take longer than expected and suddenly here you are working on that project at 3am the day of the class. How does this happen? This year is my third year at University and I thought it would get easier to manage time, and somehow it doesn't seem any different, in fact it seems the more I age the faster time goes, mostly due to more obligations, I keep on thinking about when I was in Elementary School a fifteen minute recess seemed to long I could accomplish everything I wanted to and still have extra time, now it seems to get everything done to the degree I would either learn how to pause time while I worked on things, develop superhuman speed, or never sleep (which sometimes seems like is the case). Anyway enough rambling for now, I need to go do drawing homework. Any instructions on how to pause time, or develop superhuman speed are welcome!
