be careful what you ask for

So, I wanted something to keep me busy this semester and man, I shouldn't have even thought about it.
If last semester was a breeze where I lazed around and baked/went grocery shopping a lot (A LOT. seriously), I'm now....
Overcommitted
OMG. How the heck did that happen??
My little plan for 3 classes, a dance class/hobby and an internship has become 5 classes, an internship, a part-time job, 3 extracurriculars and a editorial position I forgot I had. oops. (maybe, just maybe, I might have been a little excited about the new year and new start (read: gone a little overboard with the whole "my life is stagnant and I should grab life by the balls" resolution thingy)
Also, I apparently have to hang out at my newly given office (yay office space!!) at least 10 hours a week in order to keep it (boo. can you tell i like the idea of it more than actually having it??)......I dunno if it's worth it.....it's got four people squished in, looks like a harem decided to throw up on the walls (to complement the 50s decor, of course) and kinda smells like an ashram. lol. On the other hand, it may come in handy since I've now got 9 (yes, NINE) housemates and I foresee a lack of peace and quiet. Why? Nothing super big or anything (apart from having 10 girls in one tiny house) but the two new girls on my floor are pretty noisy: one of them likes to have very long, very loud eastern european hysterics on the phone (I could hear her from outside the house) and another likes to giggle in that high-pitched-haunted-house/chucky kinda way. Seriously gives me the heebie jeebies.... especially when she laughs at night.... I've never been more thankful for the annoying streetlights and the lack of curtains if it means my room isn't pitch black when she randomly laughs. lol. it's funny and creepy at the same time.
Well, this semester is shaping up to be a super busy one (can't believe I'm only two days in and already dreading how stressed out I'll be) but I think it'll be fun.Wish me luck!
p.s: I still owe the last two weeks of Cambodia and the highlights of life in the aloha state. I promise they will come. soon. with pictures even.
