I've returned!
For the like 3 of you that read this blog, please excuse my momentary absence from blogworld. The good news is that the 27-30 pages that I talked about writing in my last post are now completely signed, sealed and delivered to their appropriate professor! The only thing standing between my bachelor's degree and I is one one test for my community social work class, one final essay for my Spanish class, and like 50 hours at my practicum! It is SO CRAZY that the semester is winding down as fast as it is. Seriously, my first day of orientation for TFA Memphis is May 30. That is 23 days away. WHAT. And what is crazier is that my journey at SLU ends in less time--14 days. Two weeks. What.The.Heck.
Also, I have some AMAZINGLY exciting news to tell you all...but I am going to wait until tomorrow :) It coincides appropriately with the fact that I will officially be an alumnae of Sigma Kappa! It is crazy how fast 3 years went by. But I've loved every second of it...and I could go on and on about how much I love my sorority and the amount of personal growth I've experienced because of it. But we can talk about all of that....
tomorrow :)

"The Lazy Song"
Today I don't feel like doing anything,
I just want to lay in my bed,
Don't feel like picking up my phone,
So leave a message at the tone,
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything...
"The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars
Not gonna lie, this song has been the theme song to my life for the past week. When I decided to major in social work and minor in Spanish, I chose them because the subject matter interested me. I did NOT anticipate, however, that almost my entire grade for both departments would be based on writing papers and NOT taking tests. There are some obvious perks to this line of school--for people such as myself who don't often do so well on standardized tests, I can usually argue my way throughout a paper and I will still manage to receive a decent grade in both the project itself and the class as a whole. What I somehow always manage to forget is the amount of freaking time each of these papers will take me to do. Example: I have a 5-page paper due in my Spanish class tomorrow (over a book that I haven't quite finished, but that's besides the point). When I return from Easter, I have a 10-page paper due for my social justice class. So much for a school-free break. Then, exactly one week after that due date, I have another 12-15 page paper and project due in my macro social work class. For those of you keeping track, that is a whopping 27-30 pages of writing that will by completed by yours truly in the next 14 days. So when I say that "today I don't feel like doing anything," I feel like I have some justification for my feelings. Today I really don't want to write anything, but alas, I know that I have to. And if I seem a little stress-ed in the next two weeks, forgive me please. I'll be back to my old self soon enough.
My mantra for the next two weeks, and a slight nod to the upcoming nuptials of the century...
