|| LAST FRIDAY OF THE SEMESTER || WEEKEND ||

Thank the Divine being above that I am finishing my last day of classes today and will be home midweek next week. A little dramatic? Perhaps. But really, I wasn't sure I'd make it through this semester, so this is amazing. I spent the week kind of in a daze. My schedule thrown for a loop and even though there were less requirements, I felt busy and bored at the same time. Maybe something's happening with the planets out there.

Anyway, I plan on spending the weekend watching TV in the morning and studying into the evening. I'm hoping to celebrate a little on Sunday (I got a job yesterday! Woohoo!) but other than that really working towards class. Can't wait to get home and crank out some holiday fun with my loves.

If you haven't listened to Pentatonix yet for your holiday music... get going. They're 'Little Drummer Boy' is the best I've ever heard.

How are you spending the weekend? What are you excited about for next week?

WEEKEND ||

This week has been utterly exhausting in a really empowering way, however. I've been working tirelessly until my eyes close on their own will, then finally drifting off listening to Oprah and Deepak's 21-day meditation challenge. It's been glorious. I've been trying not to say words like stressed and rushed and unable to get anything done, because I truly believe that if I repeat those words enough that is all I will feel. Instead, I've been replacing my tired phrases with 'it will all get done' and 'a lot on my to-do list, but time to get it all done'. I just have to keep plugging away. My mind is ready for rest, and I sure will get that starting on Tuesday. Meanwhile I have many more things to cross off my list, but don't we all. I wish we could all value our time on Earth in kindness and gratitude rather than how much stress and frustration we have towards someone or something. It would make for a different planet, wouldn't it? Anyway, this is all I have time to write... plus we all know you secretly skip to the links (it's okay, I do that first anyway). Have a lovely, loving weekend. Stay warm, curl up, grab some zzz's, watch some Netflix, and let me know how everything is going.
