So This is What it Feels Like

Well this weekend, for maybe the first time since I've been at school this semester, I felt like a college kid, not just a student. This semester has been ridiculous. Last week I had a test/quiz/paper/lap report or something due every day. And then this past week I had an Organic 2 test on Friday, so allll I've done lately is study. For this whole semester, I have been waking up, going to class, going to lunch, doing homework, working out, doing more homework, going to dinner, doing more homework, and going to bed, just to wake up, go to class, etc. the next day. Day in and day out.
Well, I have nothing due this week.
So this weekend, for the first time since spring break, I think, I took a break. I didn't touch my homework yesterday.
And Friday night, upon Virginia's request for her birthday, we went clubbing. It was fun. And funny.
I slept in Saturday morning, ran, went shopping, watched movies, ate good food, laughed, relaxed.
It was definitely much needed.
I know circumstantial changes don't make things better, so I try not to look forward to certain things (like days off, breaks, the summer, etc.) in hopes that they'll magically make everything better and make me happier, but sometimes it is very nice and needed just to relax and have fun, with nothing to worry about. So thank you, Jesus, for this weekend.

Also, I found a new band on my when I was studying. Discovery. I kind of hated their music when I started listening, but after a few songs, I was like "Okk, yeah. I like this." It's weird, techno-ish music, but it's conducive to my studying, so I like it.

  2. I've been so caught up in my own world that I haven't realized just how consumed you've been in work. And for that, I am so sorry. This year has been very demanding and challenging for you and I am very proud of all your hard work. 101.
    You are the most disciplined person I know and I respect you so much.
    It's November now, and as people are not shaving, can we make a pact to take a sigh of relief and play pranks, talk more, and be more balanced in our lives? Also, let's all do some more community service, like Habitat for Humanity or elderly home tings.

    I love you berry much.
