Clearly I’m a little behind

It’s been a really chaotic few weeks in my life with school and work. I spent 2 weeks working over 40 hours per week and juggling school and it almost killed me. I did nothing but study and work at two different Gymboree stores. I love working at other stores but not during school. Actually, when I did it in high school it was a lot easier than it has been in college. I’m slowly but surely discovering the differences between high school and college. High school seemed to spread things out over the semester pretty evenly and I feel like college has some really slow weeks and then some weeks that are jam-packed with stress and very little sleep. I’m working hard to figure out how to make those jam-packed weeks more bearable. I think by next semester I’ll have things figured out a little better as far as planning and allocation go.

Finals are coming up starting Monday, December 13th and I’m not too worried but more so nervous because I don’t know what to expect. I’m going home this weekend to Houston because I actually got a weekend off. Thank God. I just need a breather. It will be a whirlwind but I anticipate enjoying it.

I’m nixing my thirty day challenge because those things just aren’t me. I can’t religiously write on different topics. I think they are wonderful lists of prompts to get to know others, but I have a hard time doing them and better yet, keeping up with them. If you would like me to write about something off of the list I previously posted, just put your request in my comments and I’ll be glad to do a post for you :)

I had a lovely Thanksgiving with my grandparents, aunts and uncles. I stayed with my grandparents and drove 1 hour 45 minutes to get to work for almost a week. That was totally exhausting. My mom, stepdad and brother stayed in Houston because my brother had to work on Black Friday as I did. I missed having them at my grandparents because we all usually go there every year.

I hope you and yours had a more than blessed Thanksgiving! Tell me what you did or at least how you’re doing! I’ve missed y’all!
