I LIVE!

Finals are over.

(Insert exhale here.)

I am sorry that I have slacked on posting. But school tends to rule my life when finals are approaching.

Who am I kidding? School ruled my life this entire semester.

It was such a good semester, though. I LOVED my foreign relations class. SOOO INTERESTING. I am looking forward to the second half next semester. I have never worked so hard in a class before.... but I have also never learned so much. I think my family is tired of me sharing all of my new-found knowledge. (Like, did you know America has only officially declared war five times. Ever.)

I also enjoyed my marriage and family relations class and my theater class. My other classes were more icky, but that's ok. We all have those classes, right?

Now that school is over I can blog a little more frequently. It is such a stress-reliever for me. Even if I don't actually post when I blog. I have done that a lot recently. I have quite a few posts that are saved, but I don't know that I will ever share them. They are a little sad.

--I don't mean to only post sad or upsetting things. I am generally a very optimistic and positive person. I just tend to turn to the blog when I am not happy to help relieve whatever sadness I am feeling. I need to work on posting upbeat things as well so the world doesn't think I am always a basket case.

On the contrary, I am actually really happy most of the time. My one REAL complaint is that I stay up WAY too late. During school it was because I had to study or wind down after studying. NOW, I am just pathetic. All I want to do is read. I can't tell you how many times I have been reading when I realized it was almost 4 a.m.

It's a good thing I can function on little to no sleep. :)

I'm also counting down to vacation! Only 26 days to go! I'm so excited, I posted a picture from my last vacation! It's my favorite place. Seriously.

In any case, I hope this post finds you well. I hope you have a wonderful, happy weekend and enjoy this weird spring weather.

Oh. And if I don't get the chance to say it before Sunday...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Be sure to thank the mothers in your life for all they do for you. I know I am grateful for mine. Even when she makes me laugh so hard it physically hurts.

Anyway, happy weekend all. Keep smiling!
