Spring Break

Has been good thus far. Saturday I read 103 required pages of reading and then wrote the 7 page report on it (stayed up 'til 2am to finish it). I started off the break with a very productive bang. That has allowed me to feel a little less stressed, mainly because I feel like there is hope with getting a lot done, and also I don't feel as guilty about relaxing at times. Yesterday I ran some errands in the morning, got home did some more responses for my Child Development DS (which feels like its never going to end with 15 responses left to go and a 10 page research paper...ugh)and then I met my roomie for lunch at Kohl's. (I packed such a cute lunch!) She bought a pair of shoes for her up coming trip to Italy and after she headed back to work, I stayed at Kohl's looking for a skirt for graduation. It was so nice just wandering the store leisurely (not wanting to get home to do more responses) and was kind of weird not having to be anywhere at any particular time. Confession: I may have some form of shopping addiction. It's not good, seeing as I am a POOR college student and should not be spending ANY additional money over food and rent- and yet I continue to spend 40 here and 50 there...is there an S.A. anywhere??


I bought Enchanted yesterday and watched it with the roomie last night- lots of laughs in that movie! Love Patrick Dempsey's sarcasm! And Susan Sarandon's roles are funny-especially as the old woman. One of the best parts of the movie is when Geselle (Amy Adams) calls out the window in Manhattan for the animals to come and help her clean and the nastiest animals (like street rats, flies, pigeons, and these beetle/cockroach things) come scurrying/flying into the apartment and she is like "...It's always nice to make new friends..."





Anyway, I do hope that I continue to make great progress on my schoolwork. I only have 6 more days on break (including today). I really feel so much better when the weight of my load is lessened, even though, in reality it isn't because I have Senior Comp. again. I won't be studying another 100 hours for it this time, but I'm thinking maybe 50. Even still, that's two full weekends and a full week before. I have to get the things that are due during that time done now so that I can study (and PASS!!!) Senior Comp.

My birthday's in less than 3 weeks- that's weird to think about. Nothing planned. The roomie might take me to dinner at my favorite/best free birthday dinner deal place, Todai. She already bought me my birthday present (a sweet pair of Reef sandals) and seeing as she's pretty much the only friend I know in a hundred mile radius, I'm not seeing much else happening. Which I suppose is fine, I've had so many great birthdays in the past, now that I'm getting older, I guess the reality is that birthday's aren't really as big of a deal. I will miss celebrating with my family though. Families usually make you feel special on your birthday, like they're actually glad that I'm in their family.

I wasn't able to sleep in this morning- not sure why- maybe cause my allergies are pretty bad- sore and scratchy throat, and a runny and stuffy nose combined make it pretty hard to breathe, and thus sleep. And, since I have nothing planned today except for homework, I could take a nap at any point and it would be fine. It is hard to keep myself motivated throughout the day to buckle down and work on the vast amounts of homework. I'm kinda weirded out by the fact that in less than 2 months from now I'll be done. It still is far too surreal for me to celebrate though, mostly because of all of the papers/presentations/interviews/responses that I have to do.

Anywho, guess I'll stop talking about it, and get crackin' on it.
