Getting through the daily work

So I haven't posted for a little while because... well, it seems like every day follows the same routine. Rush out of bed at 8am, morning classes until 12 or so depending on the day, studying, afternoon precept sessions, more studying, studying some more, sleep. Really, I have been impressed at how much work there is to do in graduate school. It's very invigorating and exciting, albeit quite exhausting. This being said, I still take time to do other things, even when they would seem to interfere with studying. For example, I spent most of last weekend attending the General Conference of the Church and focusing on the messages delivered by the prophet, apostles and other leaders of the Church. A few weeks ago, I took off time to travel to New York to attend a worship session at the Temple there. Just Monday I traveled out to Pennsylvania to attend my Grandmother's funeral. And of course, I don't study on Sundays, I attend a weekly scripture study class and I take time every day to study the scriptures myself. Some might think that this would be hard to sustain with all the work I do. I know people who under pressure find it best to not attend Church or attend to other obligations until they finish their work. I respect their decisions. But I feel that I could not make it through my studies without the added strength, focus and help I get from focusing on things of a spiritual nature. I saw that this was true in my studies as an undergraduate - there was undoubtedly divine assistance given me in my classes and my studies. That hasn't changed with graduate school, even if the workload has increased. Don't get me wrong - I love my studies and I think they are very important. I just think that there are things more important than school, and I am not afraid to take time away from school to attend to these weightier matters. Every second I'm studying I'm working hard though, and I am sometimes behind my classmates in how far I am in completing my studies. But I have no doubt that I am better off in every regard for establishing my priorities this way.
