There are stressful weeks and less stressful weeks when you are a student. (actually when you are a human) This probably should've been a really stressful week with 2 substantially large research papers to write, a take home quiz, 3 weeks til my senior project, and a talk to give on Sunday.
I give credit to the sunshine for helping my week be less stressful. It's hard to be too overwhelmed when it is so beautiful outside. During my paper breaks, I sat on the porch and took deep breaths of wonderful summer air. I promise going outside and taking three deep breaths will make any situation seem more manageable. Plus, I married a really wonderful man who takes great care of me. He planned an exciting surprise date night and it was a perfect break to all the homework.
I also realize that during stressful weeks I learn so much about the potential I have for accomplishing difficult tasks. I'm grateful for the stress that helps me grow and become a better person.
Senior project rehearsal! August 8 & 9 is quickly approaching! |
Steve got tickets to the Twilight Concert Series from a very kind friend who is in his development class. It's been awhile since either of us have been to a concert and we were quite entertained from all of the 'energy' and 'character' that we were around. Illegal and non illegal substances make for a good side show.
Music by TV on the Radio. Great jams. |
