Can I just stay home and bake all day?

Soooo...fall semester 2009 started this week, and, to say the least, my life is definitely the most hectic it has been ever.

Here are the various area's of my life that are/will be stressing me out:
1) Work: I am now working two jobs on top of taking a full load of classes. I can work up to 20 hours a week (not including football) so if I make it through this semester alive I will buy myself a car and quit one of the two. Concessions is still the same...I have a love-hate relationship with that job. I love how much I make working there and the friends that I have. I hate almost everything else about it (mostly the hours, and the events). My new job, Catering has been/is/will continue to be a huge learning experience. I'm glad I get the opportunity but doubt I will keep it past this semester. It doesn't pay as well as Concessions and I have to be there MWF 8-12, yuck.
2) Lack of funds: Because of my insignificant amount of work this summer I had barely enough money to pay for books this semester. It didn't help that they were twice as much as I've payed any other semester. Then my dad told me he would pay for my rent this month! I don't think I can express my gratitude for this gesture enough.
3) School: I changed my major officially the week before school started! My new major is now Recreation Management Youth Leadership: Leisure Services Management with a Commercial Recreation emphasis. Yes, I have had four majors in my five semesters at BYU (IR, Economics, double majoring in French, and RMYL: LSM), and if you count the dropping out to go to Pastry School idea, I could be five for five. Also, my class load is huge! It's only 14 credits, but that ='s 7 classes, not including my on-line religion class I HAVE to finish by November.
4) I am living with complete strangers!!! We get along, and I like them so far, but I can't help but think about how much less stressed I would be if I knew them already. It'll be okay...they're wonderful people and we'll be great friends by the end of the year.
5) Socializing/My dating life...

Here's the way my week looks:
Monday: 8-12 Catering, Work on on-line classes (Organizational Effectiveness/Rel A 211) til 430-530 Inclusive & Special Recreation: for persons with disabilities.
Tuesday: 8-915 Accounting 200, 930-1045 American History till 1877, devo/forum, 1205-1255 Careers in Recreation, Accounting Homework in the afternoon, technically I could go to my Excell/Powerpoint classes 610-820pm but I don't foresee any problems with the homework so it shouldn't be necessary.
Wednesday: 8-12 Catering
Thursday: 8-915 Accounting 200, 930-1045 American History till 1877
Friday: 8-12 Catering

Throw in some concessions hours and tons of homework every Wed-Fri afternoon and probably far too much socializing... Actually, I'm going to DOMINATE this semester. It will be awesome!
(On a completely random note: I'm listening to nickasaur do a variety of covers [Coconut Juice, Bleading Love + The Great Escape]...interesting)
