It's been a long time since I posted! It's not for lack of trying to start... I have 3  2 drafts started and one finished posted. Anyway, I thought this one should get finished sometime soon. Here's how I was starting it back in December when I was completely swamped:

I'm really tired. It's been a long semester and there's been a lot of work to do. That's part of the reason I'm writing this post at all. As a warm-up to my 3+ essays that need to get written today. Yikes!

Needless to say, I got stressed out and distracted enough to get started on writing the actual essays instead. So, it all worked out.

Anyhow. Wow. That feels like absolutely an entire lifetime ago, but it's only been a little over a month! Life's just a tad bit different now. ;) I get up at around 5:30 and am typically in bed by 10 or 10:30. Yep, the whole early bedtime and early rise time thing again. Some habits just die hard. In my defense, I'm not getting up that early entirely by choice either... But, needless to say, I definitely was looking forward to the weekend yesterday. Yay for 10 hours of sleep!

Along with change comes a whole slew of likes and dislikes. Here's my current list:

Likes: 

• Seeing my family every day
• Giving my brother TONS of hugs
• The people at my work
• Talking to friends in the evenings or on the weekends

Dislikes: 

• How tired I feel after work
• The fact that I don't think I've opened my Bible more than twice this past week <-- This has absolutely got to change.
• The fact that it's a lot harder to keep in touch with friends
• Stress! I had a nightmare for the first time the other night that I hadn't completed my homework for a class that I hadn't been able to join until halfway through. Weird how I never had those dreams while actually being in school... 

Things will continue to change, I suppose, and this list will also morph- hopefully for the better! Learning how to become a "real" person...
