So Tired

Wow! Life has been crazy since school started. I'm a person that wants to serve and please people, and I think that gets me into trouble. Being my last semester, I want to be involved with everything and make the most of my time here. Probably the wrong thing to do - I'm director with student living, so that right there I have 4-7 meetings weekly for that, I'm the Relief Society President, so with that, too, I have meetings all day Sunday, starting at 7:45am and then throughout the week I am making constant visits and receiving numerous phone calls. I'm doing my senior practicum so I'm in Idaho Falls on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-3:30. When I get back to Rexburg, I arrive just in time for my meetings with Student Living. Then I get to do all my homework for the three other classes I have on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to top that off I have lesson plans "galore" to write every night! This semester has taken a big toll on me, and lately I have been reflecting a lot on the scripture in D&C 10:4 - don't run faster than you have strength and means. I need to give something up. Especially since I went to the doctor las week to "humor" my parents and roommates about my sore throat and cold. It turns out I probably have hyothyroidism. I'm taking a 2 1/2 hour blood test next Friday, so we'll see what happens. But the gist of it is that I'm not receiving the energy from my body that I need, so my body works extra hard trying to get that energy, which just wears me out more. I just started noticing it back in October, but it has gradually gotten worse. I get between 8-10 hours of sleep every night and I'm still so tired throughout the day! It just isn't fun. I want to be fixed. :) But all in all I am well and happy. I just keep troting merrily along. La vida es buena! Tengo demasiado bendiciones en mi vida y se que Dios me ama.
