finals week

i really need to learn about time management skills, which i hear are intended for people who lack them...

but the challenge is that finals week happens the last week before a break. which is when i would much rather be with friends i won't see for a few weeks.

take this most recent week. i've already written about 30 pages for class. and i have another 30 to type up this weekend. but i still am being intentional about spending time with people. partly to avoid homework, partly cause i'm gonna miss em this coming month.

today is the best example. i have a massive final tomorrow. is it done? no. do i care? yes but no. i care because i want to be done and i want to get a good grade. i don't care because i'm choosing to spend the day with friends.

i had brunch with jess. then got my hair did (so i can be all savvy and look mature over break). then had coffee with kelli. taking a break from friends to think about school (or blog...). then i'm off to eat pizza with joel and melissa. then i'll come back and (hopefully) feel pressured/inspired to work on my final...

but i'm not worried or stressing out. cause i know that it'll get done when it gets done. then i will be able to enjoy my month off knowing that i worked and played hard during finals week so i can rest.

of course, my time off will be interrupted by my approval interview, but i'll deal with that when it arrives...
