Things have been...hectic, chaotic, and the emotions with those things have been on a roller coaster. Last week was absolutely insane. I feel like I can't complain because this is the life of a student. This is the life that I chose. But at the same time writing has always been cathartic for me, so even if I feel like I can't complain, I can. Maybe vent is the better word.

Over the past week I had a couple times where I wanted to post a blog, but didn't have time. So now I have all these ideas about what I want to write about. But I don't feel like writing about all of them.

Four weeks left of school, and I cannot be more thrilled. I have a lot to do until then, but after last week I feel like I can do anything.

I had three papers due, a midterm (which I actually got the worst grade I've ever had on), an hour presentation due, and then today had a 10 page paper due (which I had a scare when I couldn't find it the morning it was due...). And I actually didn't procrastinate on any of it! (Although I feel that the perk of procrastinating is that you get to focus on one thing, especially when a midterm is supposed to be on one perspective, and you've been studying four different ones...). On top of the homework, I had about 30 hours of work. Saturday and Sunday was spent sleeping a lot, and doing homework, and at work.

We also started a puzzle again. We busted out the one that Doug got me for Christmas. I'm excited, because it isn't as intense as the one that we didn't finish, but isn't really easy either.

Just starting out



What it is supposed to look like when it's done



Progress today!



It's relaxing to do a puzzle. And you feel productive. We may not have a dining room table, but hey, we usually eat on the couch anyways.
