aaaaaa I am only three days into the semester and I already feel SO BEHIND!!!
The next few months are going to be insanely crazy. For instance, I have to read 3 books by next week, and they haven't even been delivered yet!
But I think I will really like all my seminars. I just have to figure out what I am doing for my thesis...
by hopefully the beginning of next week...
Sometimes grad school makes me feel very very young, inexperienced, overwhelmed, and it all goes shooting way over my head. I am the second to youngest in my entire program! But I will make it!
Regardless of the craziness I am TRYING REALLY HARD to keep sanity and appreciate random nice things that happen every day like
-tonight I watched the most beautiful sunset out the window in my seminar, one that lights up the clouds from below in fluorescent technicolor
-talking to a random friendly mature sophomore at the bus stop last night
-finally impulse-buying a crockpot!!!
-and finding the most amazing crock pot cookbook at the library!
(still haven't had a chance to figure it out and use it...)
-discovering the elusive Celestial Seasonings Holiday Tea still at my grocery store! (on sale!)
-and most exciting: seeing Ben in 2 days
(also p.s. I have started getting my Better Homes and Gardens, Mama!)

Yes! We've also used this book (and also from the library)! We actually did the soup on the cover (tasty!) and probably some others; I don't remember which. There's almost nothing to 'figure out' about crock pots - you really just dump everything in there and turn it on. AMAZING. And perfect, I'm sure, for your crazy grad school schedule.
ReplyDeleteYou will rock it girl! No worries!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for a crockpot. They save lives, true story. I love mine. Please love it like I do.
Let me tell you I've looked at 2 sotres for that yummy tea that you talked about and they do not carry it. I am far from happy about this and so jealous that you have it AND it is on sale.
Yay for seeing Ben!!!
Celestial Seasonings is my favorite! Cinnamon apple spice and chai...yummy :)
ReplyDeleteI am only 2 days into my semester and I am already behind too.. sheesh!! But it sounds like you have a great perspective... take it for what it is, seek out the good things, and do the best you can!
ReplyDeleteI know that once I'm out working, I'll want to be right back in school again so trying to enjoy it while I can!
Love your blog!!
