This week marks the start of the second round of exams, crazy to think its about mid semester already. I am feeling so overwhelemed. Usually I have time to study in advance for exams and do things way ahead of time, I'm typically not a procrastinator. However, these last few weeks I have found it impossible to get ahead in my classes. I have been doing the bare minimum to get by, and I barely have time for that! I guess that is what college is about, I am just very stressed. Today I finally went grocery shopping, which is basically my favorite thing to do in the world. So that was relaxing! Also, I have a youth leadership summit this weekend for the Relay for Life, which I am co-chairing. Should be really fun, I just wish it wasn't smack in the middle of all my exams so I could go to it worry-free.

Finally, a relaxing week! I am going home this weekend which I am very excited for! I miss my dog! And family...but I really really miss my dog. Sometimes I wish I would have gone to veterinary school or something-- I love animals so much. However, I love cuddling and playing with them, not so much saving their lives. I really think playing with animals is a kind of therapy for me, it is relaxing to watch and play with dogs and cats because they are so carefree and simple minded. I wish life was that simple for me :)

This week I had my first mid-term...seems strange that it is mid term time already. This semester is going by ridiculously fast. I guess that is a good and bad thing, kind of bittersweet. The good news is that I get to see my boyfriend at the end of this semester! He has been in Ireland for almost two months now and I am staring to miss him a lot!! The bad news is that once this semester is over, I will have only one more semester on UW-L campus. I have to say I am getting pretty excited already for our internship-- seems like I am growing up too fast though.

This week had proved to be much busier than expected! I am trying to start working out this week, I have been putting it off because I am so busy, but I know that it will help me de-stress. I find that when I am stressed out I really enjoy cleaning! My room is spotless, however most of my homework is not done :)

Exam week!!!

This week is our first exam week, and I am feeling very overwhelmed. I can tell a big difference between the cirriculum last year and the cirriculum now that we are in a professional program. I know that this year will really make me grow and mature as a person, I am already learning a lot on how to prioritize my time. It is getting hard to say no to going out with friends on a random week night, because I know that I need that time to study. For the most part I am going to try to save my social life for the weekends!
