Mistake?

I totally forgot yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Oh, I HATE it when this happens. I really, really love Ash Wednesday Mass. It's one of my favourite masses every year.

This makes me feel like I really need to re-evaluate things. Because of several crisis which unearthed themselves on Saturday and Sunday, I couldn't go to Mass, mega guilt, and now I miss Ash Wednesday Mass. Seriously, all the signs were there, but Brennan just couldn't solve the puzzle. The memo was given by several people, but Brennan didn't check it out. I always vaguely remember when these dates are, but rarely do I remember in time. My planner usually has all the religious events in it, like it did last year, but now this year they don't include them. This drives me CRAZY. Man, now I'm too frustrated to work on my thesis. And I'm tired. Curses.

I don't have enough time, which is the problem, and this is getting out of hand. The last thing I want to have happen is that I leave out my spiritual activities because I'm so busy with work and my thesis and everything else. This isn't what I planned, and I need to stop the bus, back up, and make sure I'm making time for the things that matter. Too much time is being spent on stressing and not enough time on actually getting things done. Life change on the rise. =P

Then again, I should just realize that this semester is just going to, by nature, be busier and more stressful. This is crunch time for me in about five ways, so I can't help that things are going to be more than a little unravelled now and again. Hopefully I can just be ok with that and not get really stressed or accidentally burden other people with my stress. The best I can do is just keeping pushing forward, and I'll make it. Stop, though, and I think I might be crushed by the avalache. =)
