Sometimes it sucks to point out the obvious but a reality check is good for productivity every once in awhile! This is only my 3rd blog post in March. Wow! Slacker! I also have really slacked on my Lenten practice of prayer and journaling every night as well. My mom even gave me a great meditation book to read which I enjoyed the first two chapters but just fell off the bandwagon. Maybe more like I was pushed by the pressures of grad school...
My mom is coming to visit over Easter weekend and a few days before and after. I am really excited and was able to take time off work to spend with her. Unfortunately, I have a couple pretty big projects due this month and I am freaking out about getting them done before she gets here. I want to be able to enjoy myself but to do that I am going to have to push myself and get my assignments finished. April really is going to fly by if I keep being as busy as I have been.
Thinking of things I've slacked on.... I've slacked on a few relationships as well. Like my friend Leah, who I wanted to come visit this semester and now it seems like my weekends are all filled up! (Maybe next semester for a football game?) I also am eager to hear about her trip to Boston a week or so ago but just haven't had the time to call or email! Also, my younger brother... I think he might be in West Virginia this weekend but regardless, when was the last time I talked to him!? Ben, when we do chat I have a great movie you should watch about mountain climbing.
Here's a thank you shout out to my friends who understand and post surprising encouraging posts on my Facebook wall every so often! Thank you! I guess I have to be a little selfish right now so I can finish the semester strong and steady and enjoy my summer (after my internship is over) off to relax and catch up on the social fun parts of life!!
Lastly, two positives for the week.... drum roll please.....
1) My very good friend Jason will soon be a homeowner!! He bought a house!! Congrats Jason and welcome to the world of suburbia! Can't wait to decorate and cause a ruckus!
2) A good friend in Virginia was hired for a job after a long and tedious job search!! He completely deserves it! Congrats Craig! You are the perfect fit for the position too!
Until April.... (maybe I'll have my mom post something in here free time while she is here).
