Okay, so not maybe everyone's thought process, but when you work at least four nights a week like I do, it is really overwhelming when you just think about all the work that has to be done these next few weeks.
I keep telling myself that I can do this, I can get all the work done, and I will succeed and then I can enjoy summer! I have been giving myself a few little stress breaks lately that include: Ted Drewes, a St. Louis must, trips to the batting cages to relieve stress, drawing with chalk, bike riding, and walks to Concordia's fields. Once May 14th is over, and I have freshman year under my belt, I will be a much happier, un-stressed person! I cannot wait for next year to live in Medaille and have my own room. I feel like sophomore year will just be all around better in many ways.
T.G.I.S.B. (Thank God It's Spring Break.) All of my friends and I have been waiting for this week of freedom for so long now. Don't get me wrong, I love school – I just desperately need a week-long mental break from all the tests, quizzes, and homework.
So now, after a morning of shopping with my mom, I'm sitting here at my computer, getting ready to start some homework. Yes, homework. Despite the fact that I'm not behind in any of my classes, I have so much to do. I have a microbiology take-home test to complete, a speech to work on, chemistry notes to take, and a chemistry review quiz that is a major part of my grade, plus whatever else is on my to-do list that I'm simply forgetting about right now.
It's kind of sad that I have so much to do over break; however, I'm really just grateful to have a break to begin with. As long as I can do some fun stuff in the mornings and evenings, I'll be alright. Have a great rest of the break, everyone, and I'll see you when we return to school on Monday.
