Fair, Well

My best friend left today and won't be back until the end of July. To say that I am sad is an understatement. I guess this is what happens when you've been spoiled getting to spend time together multiple times a week for the past five months.

The semester workload is already stressing me out and keeping my overwhelmed and busy, which worries me since it's only been one week since classes started. I'm definitely in for another challenging semester, but I'm sure if I stay motivated and working hard, I'll be able to maintain my GPA and learn important lessons.

Last Friday was the first day of my practicum, and it was hectic, but exciting and enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to working more closely with the students and assisting them in achieving and empowering themselves. I was nervous before my first day, but am not eager and excited for what is to come the rest of the semester.

So life is stressful right now, but manageable and I think that regardless of the stress and white hairs (ick, I found two more this morning), continuing to do well and work hard will prove to be beneficial.

Things that I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks/months: Giants in the Superbowl!! 4th row tickets to the Bulls/Nets game next Monday (right next to the bulls locker room entrance - meaning I might be able to high five Kyle Korver)!! My birthday! Valentine's Day! Orlando for a few days during Spring Break :)

Hope 2012 has been treating you all well so far!
