Taking a Bite Out of My Problems

Time is usually the biggest management problem for everyone. It seems inevitable that at some point in your life you feel like there is not enough time to do what you like or need to do. It's part of the human condition (I don't know what that means but it seems an intelligent thing to say).

So instead of taking the familiar route, I will go with something really different and radical (not really). The biggest management problem I have is not having a consistent eating schedule. I usually go a whole days without eating. My classes are usually in the morning and I haven't eaten breakfast in the morning since 6th grade. My classes end in the evening and I only eat when I get home. So if you include sleep, I go 18 to 20 hours without eating. Even I think it's crazy but it never enters my mind because there is so much work to do. By the time I finish doing homework or studying it's time for my next class.

I just forget to eat. It is my intention to eat in order to keep up my energy in class and since I don't eat, I tend to tune out at times and don't grasp the material that is being taught. It seems like I should just take some time to eat but I don't feel hungry when I'm studying.

It's a "vicious cycle" as Fat Bastard from Austin Powers put it ("I eat cuz I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat"). It's not quite as drastic as Fat Bastard's problem, but it is similar. I cannot feel hungry at the right time and when I do feel hungry it's too late.

The problem is difficult to manage so I just tend to neglect it.

Who am I

Hi name is Llama and don't worry it took me 7 years to say my name properly. Right now, I am a Finance and Investments major, last week I was a Marketing major and by next week I am fully expecting to be an English major. I am an insomniac who loves to sleep.

I enjoy riding on the subway besides all the pushing and shoving, the smell of urine and BO, the inevitable signal malfunctions, and the interruptions by rejected musicians when I'm trying to study. I schedule my classes around my TV schedule so that I have my priorities in order.

Here is a tip for a happier life: Find a song that matches every situation you encounter in life; in the end you can compile a soundtrack of your life.
