Welcome, welcome.

You have found your self here: on Ellie's semi-kept-up blog.

Lots of tidbits and nothingness reside here. Don't feel obligated to read anything.

If you're interested, here's a random blog I wrote (+photos) while traveling in New Zealand in 2012: newsieland.wordpress.com

With love,

Ellie

What the Heck, I'm Overwhelmed

I feel really overwhelmed right now. There are so many things I'm going to have to accomplish, so many people I want to reach out to and get involved in their lives, so many dreams I want to set out to do, and still there are other goals for myself that I'd love to accomplish. Now, I suppose I might be able to deal with this a little better if it was summer, or something and I didn't have anything going. As it is, I have to get up at six every morning, go to school, then after school go to track, after which I go to play practice, then to home to finish up homework, eat and go to bed. No extra time. None. The weekends even feel hectic. Usually the teachers give you some form of homework (I don't know why, I wish they would just teach us in the class and forget the homework) and then there's church, visiting family, etc. It gets hectic. Really hectic.

I've been exhausting myself mentally and physically every day of my week trying to reach out to those people who need it most, and also doing everything else. Not to mention, I've been trying to set aside a time every day to read my bible. That's proved hugely unsuccessful. I feel like an absolute failure, and I just can't manage everything at once and that's what I feel like I'm trying to do. Ugh.

Alright, I'm signing off. Maybe I should bann myself from the computer (unless I have to do school on it) and use that extra time to do other stuff. Hm... That could be good.

Oh the Life of a Busy Bee!

Lately I haven't had time to sit down, gather my thoughts and record them. That's made things difficult.
