3 Thoughts on a Friday

I must thoroughly be enjoying Spring break because my days have been complete off! I thought yesterday was Wednesday and I didn't even realize today was Friday the 13th!

1. I really can't believe it's Friday already. The weeks NEVER go this fast when I'm in classes. I don't regret staying at home over my break (not like I really could have done anything else anyway...) but I can say this week has gotten me ready for summer. Sure, it isn't as warm as it was on Monday, but the whole not doing anything but working is actually a nice break. I've forgotten how wonderful summer is. I don't plan on traveling anywhere major for a long time, my summer will mostly be spent here in town (in a new apartment!) and hopefully serving up coffee or selling books.

2. I'm headed out to Indy again tonight with the bestie to a friend's house. Our original plan was to go to a club and dance our stresses away, but then the girl who had the idea up and went to Florida on us. So now, it's just chilling with some friends and a hot tub. I like that idea. I should really do this de-stress thing more often... except I don't always know how.

3. After today, only 8 more weeks of my undergraduate career left! I cannot believe it is almost time for me to graduate... it's just ridiculous. I'm so glad I am where I am today, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Life still has it's rocky moments (but when do it not?) but, learning how to handle sudden change, to be able to move forward, to accept life for what it is and still being able to love is worth everything. I'm not saying I'd do it all again but I'm not saying I'd go back and change my life either. I've always heard acceptance is always the hardest step and it is... I'm still going through it. But I'm going through it. And that is what matters.



Have a good weekend everyone!

A Note on the Change (did you notice it?)

Hello World!!!!!!!!

Oh how spring break feels wonderful, even if I have just stayed at home all week. I've been resting and getting things done which is what I have needed to do. Once again my blog has changed... I know, I know, I can't seem to keep things straight around these parts. Anyway, just my title has changed, that's all.
I switched it back to what it used to be because I'm starting a new blog. And again, I know I've done that before. I had my travel blog, and my free write blog, but those are done and gone! This one will stay around, it's been my life for the past two years... but with everything changing, I want something new, something more focused. I'm not going to get it up and running just yet, it's a work in progress. So until I do, I'll still write here. But... eventually, it will be time to retire my first outlet.
I've just had time to think this week, and though I love writing on this blog, and everyone reading it, I'm just a new person. I need to move on from some of this (I deleted some posts already) and focus more on my writing. This has kind of been like a sporadic outpouring for me, and thank you to all who have read and kept up and put up with all of my words. I love you for that. I just feel that I'm ready to become more focused in my writing. Be a little more serious, more crafty, more purposeful in what I say than just sporadic. I look to try to start things in the summer, maybe before I start grad school.... Snapshots feels like my undergrad blog almost, my 'life before.' There is so much I haven't written about and so much I want to write about.... I need a different outlet. So friends, keep reading. I've still got eight weeks of my sporadic and crazy undergraduate life to write about.

Here's to a good day!!

I think I can make it....

If I don't make it to spring break in two days, I might just collapse.

Actually, I don't have class on Friday, so technically tomorrow is all I have to make it through. Yet I have to finish a paper, study for a midterm, write some journal entries, apply for an award and somewhere in all of that find enough rest so I can workout tomorrow afternoon.

Along with my mind my body is broken.

Oh why oh why did I sign up for two more years?....Off to work.
