No, I'm not returning to school, but my students are, and that means my schedule has to change drastically to fit theirs. Gone are the nice Summer days (despite lack of work) where all of my lessons were done by five or six in the afternoon, thereby letting me hang out with people in the evening. No, now I'm stuck teaching Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday more-or-less from 4:00-8:00 PM (plus some time on Saturdays AND Sundays), thereby severely limiting my available time to hang out with Candace or jam with the band.
Other problems become exaggerated under these circumstances as well...for instance, Evan goes to bed around 10:30, but the internet reset box is in his room, and since our internet frequently goes out, my available time to tackle emails, blogging, and music listening all become severely limited until he wakes up (which is often four hours before I do). Add to this the fact that I can't record myself singing while Evan's asleep and that I try to get exercise one and half hours before my lessons, and you've got a situation where I'm pretty much forced to start going to bed early so I can wake up early in the morning in order to actually get some stuff done.
So, I'm now promising myself I'll go to bed around midnight every night and wake up around eight to give me both more time and a healthier amount of sleep. Not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up, but I know my current schedule of staying up until four in the morning and waking up at noon isn't going to work anymore. Ugh...responsibility.
