This Week

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! 

We picked up our concert tickets in Sugar House then stopped by the Blue Plate restaurant.
We looked at the menu for a really long time and then when we finally ordered,
he got the chile verde breakfast burrito and I got the chile verde burrito. Great minds think mostly alike? 

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.
