i'd rather be knocked down than be knocked out...

Do you ever feel like everything is an uphill battle? I feel like I'm having to fight in every area of my life just to get an inch further up the mountain. If you've ever read this at all then you know my passions are my family and my band. Everything with my family is great except that Mari and I see each other even less now that she's working too. The plus side is I've had more time with Joel this semester though, so that's a real blessing! I actually get to see him when he learns new things now, not just hear about them. Things with the band have been going well too except that we never practice which can take a toll on a band. The last time we really practiced aggressively was right before our last show which was in March. We had a band meeting a week ago and it was really good because it seems like we were all about to burst with the things we've kept from each other for awhile. We haven't kept things from each other on purpose we just never see each other. A band is like a marriage and a lot of times when you don't see each other you get angry, but you're really only angry because you miss each other.
I'm just waiting for school to be over. School seems like the biggest obstacle and heaviest weight dragging me down. School keeps me from seeing my family as much as I would like to and it keeps me from seeing my band as much as I would like to.
I hate to write such a downer of a post. There's just so much going through my head right now and it's not all as positive as I would like it to be. Bear with me now...
