Back on the Hamster Wheel

The semester has started. Time to get back to work.

From now until May, I will be:

  1. Stressed out
  2. Tired
  3. Busy
  4. Irritated
  5. Determined
  6. Overwhelmed
  7. Self Conscious

But it's been a pretty wild Winter Break too.

I:

  1. Slept like I was a teenager.
  2. Didn't leave the house for a full seven day stretch.
  3. Endured the kids being home from school an extra week due to weather cancellations.
  4. Did the laundry. For that, I think I deserve a reward. A cash reward.
  5. Read a book that was 850 pages long.
  6. Spent 15 days on a 1500 piece puzzle.

See?

But most importantly, I was very bored.

Spring Semester 2010?

BRING IT ON.

I completely agree! I'm done until this program starts the middle of May. At first I was relieved and thought it felt good to do nothing. Now I just watch too much t.v. I miss it already! Good luck this semester.
