Me time

This week has been a week like no other,
absolutely and completely filled to overflowing with "things."
I have been stretched in every way possible...emotionally,
physically (sickness again), mentally....the whole shebang.

I cannot express my excitement right now, though.
We just received word that classes are cancelled and i could
not be more thrilled! let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

I am currently curled up in bed with my favorite soft furry throw blanket.
I am  wearing a hoodie and yoga pants.
(Both of which i praise Jesus for every day.)
I am smelling hot chocolate from my purple keurig i'm and about to
pull out some chocolate, watch say yes to the dress
and have some me time.
because...i can.

No more books, no more walking in the cold,
no more writing, no more studying.
everyone needs a little 'me time' every now and again.
i am taking mine tonight, and it feels great.

i would strongly encourage this to anyone,
if it's possible, set the books down, brew
some coffee, eat some chocolate, and curl up.
it'll do a world of good, i promise.

Daily Shenanigans

I am sorry it has been so long since i last blogged. Things have been just a tad bit out of control since the end of last semester. To start with, i moved out of where i had been living during finals week. Which, although it sounds very stressful, was such a blessing. That place was one of the worst experiences of my life. While i was there i met some of the most hateful people i have ever come into contact with and was very ready to move out. I love where i am now, though. The classes that i am taking are going well. I'm taking quite a few more credits than i did last semester so my hours are pretty much all accounted for. 

I am so thankful to be back in virginia. Erik came to visit me the weekend after school started and i realized just how glad i am to not be 12 hours away from him anymore. He is such a blessing to me and i am so blessed that he is willing to come see me when he knows i need him. We had a great time together. 

We have definitely been under a cold spell here. The way the campus is laid out is in such a way that i have to walk quite a ways in order to get to anywhere that i need to get, so the weather and wind have been a killer. I'm from New England and even i say it is absolutely freezing. It wasn't until the end of last week that it started to warm up a little tiny bit. I have been wearing hats, gloves, and layers everywhere that i go. it's crazy. 

Coffee and books have been consuming my life lately and i think i need to get back to that now since i have a lot of work to do.
