Feeling Overwhelmed...And Just Dealing With It!

So, I've got a lot going on in the next few weeks. Usually when this kind of thing happens I get totally stressed out and take it out on those around me - especially poor Greg. But not this time. I'm doing what I need to do, even though it won't be super fun. Yes, yes, I'm actually using a vacation day to sit at Panera Bread and write a freaking case study. However, I know that since it won't be a Saturday, I'll actually get something done.

I think my brain has begun to protest Saturdays. No matter how hard I try sometimes, I just can't be productive. It stinks like nothing I've ever experienced. That being said, I really need to start utilizing my weeknights better, especially during the summer term. Thankfully, I'll only have one class fall term; that will be a treat. And then after December, I don't "have" to take any more classes. I probably will because I'm just that big of a nerd, but I can audit, or not worry about the grade affecting my GPA.

So yeah, life is pretty good, and I'm finally learning to deal with stress. I've been much more productive at work, I've been losing weight consistently, and Greg and I have finally perfected our mid-week escape - Wednesday date nights!

I apologize for the lack of blogs...and I know I always say that. I've just been busy trying to keep my life balanced which, after all, is the whole point of this blog. :)

My First 5k!!!!!

Notice the 5 exclamation marks....yeah, I did!

Tomorrow morning bright and early, I will be running my first ever 5k race. I hope this is the first of many in my transition to a more active lifestyle. If you are awake at 8:30 am EST (5:30 am PST), feel free to send good thoughts my way. I plan to a write and informative blog post about my experience soon. Oh, and I also plan on blogging a LOT more often once this darned semester is over in the 3 weeks. Until then - I'll try my best!
