Learning to Cook

When I decide to do something, I put all I have into it and I try to get it done right then. I don't like when things take longer than I would like to start or start and stop and start again or they just happen at slow pace in general. I suppose this is something I will have to work on. I need to learn how to keep my passion, enthusiasm, and determination up for long periods of time, and I need to learn to put projects on the "back burner."

I'm still trying to get in touch with Mr. Smith, but until I hear something, I think that project will have to go on the back burner.

I'm thinking about teaming up with a peer and helping produce a web-based sitcom, but with my course load and ever-increasing responsibilities outside of school, I need to figure out what else I can put on the back burner. Better yet, I need to figure out how to toggle in between so that I can work on everything, and get things done when they need to be done. 

To continue the cooking metaphor, I'm sure I will be burned sooner or later trying to handle all of this. I just hope I don't completely burn out. I keep having to remind myself that there is time, I haven't failed yet, I'm not ten steps behind like I think I am, and it is okay not to have achieved all my goals by 28. I am okay.
