Busy Weekend and Stressful Homework

It is November. I am so happy I have made it this far in the year. Only a few months left to go and only a little over a month until the semester is over. I am determined to finish the semester strong. I am even more determined to have a good month and a half. There is nothing that should stop me from enjoying it. Nothing at all. I have been very stressed this weekend because what was originally supposed to be a relaxing weekend with Garret and my homework in an empty apartment turned into a very busy one. It all started Thursday when I went to mom's to hang out with Nick on his birthday. Then Friday I went to Bucksport to see Jamie's football game. Then I drove back Saturday to read two books and just about start from scratch on a project, all of which is due Monday. Exciting no? Luckily I was able to sort of read, sort of skim one book and I just finished the project. Now I have the rest of tonight and until 3:45 to do the rest of my reading for Monday. Whether or not I go to that class will probably depend on how much of the reading I get done. Lets hope a lot. I would rather skip on a Wednesday if I have to because those are busier especially since Lindsey and I have been taking turns cooking dinner every Wednesday. The good news is that despite the stress I have had a good weekend. Seeing my brothers was awesome despite being woken up so early. And I had an easier time with the project than I thought I might. College is like that. You tend to stress and stress but in the end it is easier than you thought it would be. But only if you really work at it. It can be hard to balance school, work, friends, boyfriend and family. I am never sure I am getting the right amount of any of it. I am glad I have been hanging out with Lindsey so much this semester. It has replaced a much needed friend time for me I think. It at least makes up for part of the whole of not having Mel and D&D in my life anymore. It isn't quite the same but it is good in its own way.
