I feel like I have had no weekend. Friday came, family came, Saturday was a blur, and now it is Sunday. My weekend has consisted of food preparation, elderly care, and a few hours with Drew. My Drew time came and went so quickly. I am in letdown mode right now. I feel like I devote 100% of my time to studying, because that is true. Next weekend is looking to be more of the same, only worse, but I refuse to let it happen. I am going to go out and have fun, do something I want to do, and ignore pressures from other people. I am becoming resentful of things I have to do, ie. school, family, housework, because I never get to do things I want to do. My goal over the last few months has been to create balance in my life. I easily backed myself into this "academic corner", and quickly realized it was a recipe for depression and disaster. Letting someone into my life was the first step. Letting someone into my heart was the second. When seeing my sister for just a few hours puts me on cloud nine, I know I am missing out on the simple things in life. I need to start putting things back together, friendships, family, social life. College educations may just be overrated.

You had a schedule with all your homework. Why don't you work in some 'Jesse' time? If you schedule it, you'll be more likely to focus on the task at hand knowing that (eventually) you'll have time to have fun.
