Freedom Sweet Freedom

My blog has been woefully neglected for weeks now. School took over and sort of mowed over my life. There were assignments and papers due almost every week. It was a pretty insane couple of weeks there. I am happy to report that I survived almost with my insanity intact. I still have one paper to hand in and I am dragging my heals on that but by April 20th I will officially have completed my second semester of gradschool. I am now in to deep to back out, although there were moments in there where I did not think I could do it and thought about dropping out of the program. The most important lesson that I learnt from this semester was that I am not indestructable, working 17 hours a week and being school 11 hours a week, plus staying on top of my reading, managing to see my friends, sleep 8 hours and exercise is nearly impossible. Finding balance is important in my life and I am a very very grumpy person if I don't take care of myself.

The long awaited summer break is finally here. I am excited that I can finally do the things that I want to do, like pottery, salsa and not feeling guilty for spending time with my friends. I will be working full time and doing some work for a professor but I am free, free like a bird...yippie. Freedom never felt so good.
