Oh wow have these last two weeks been insane!! I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to breathe, much less blog (which is pretty high up on my list of things to do). First of all, I returned to work at Barnes and Noble only to find that my boss had scheduled me to work for as many days as possible….right at the time when I needed the most time off. In addition to so much work, I had a 2,500 word paper due, a 1,500 paper plus presentation due, a written take home final that hadn’t even been assigned yet, and finally, I had to create a hair salon with my group for entrepreneurship group, the hardest of all. I also had finals to study for finals. In the midst of all this, I had to find time to pack for my vacation! Well, my papers are  done, even if I did finish only 20 minutes before class, my finals are done, and I presented my hair salon business with my group with barely a hitch (after spending a good 5 hours on it in the library the day before). For the past week, I’ve been operating on an average of five hours of sleep every night; one night with only 4 hours of sleep because I decided to go out with some friends from work until 3:00 in the morning. Now, it’s over for a month!! I left Thursday afternoon for Illinois, where I’ll be for a couple of weeks before I meet Aly in California and go on the cruise that her family generously invited me on. Then, I’ll be spending the last week with Aly before flying with her to start the new semester! I’m going to read as much as possible, revel in the lack of work I have to do, and sleep until 12 noon at least once (I hope). Then, I’ll get back to school and start the cycle of stress all over!
