Parents Weekend went well I think. Spent all of Sat and some of Sunday with my parents. I tried to focus on good stuff and having fun. Next time I might take them to Lake Story or Green Oaks for a change of pace. I really do miss them a lot when they leave, if it wasn't for the crazy life i have that keeps me busy I would be home sick a lot more. I always get excited when they come and I want to show them everything and tell them so much but I always forget things. I think what I try to do is make sure its a great visit because they are coming all this way to see me and I don't want to disappoint. I am happy to have gotten jeans, real food, and a drying rack! Can't wait to come home!!!
In other news I am running on straight sugar I think because I was up all night writing a paper. I hope it came out ok, but I won't know for a while. In the meantime I have so many mini-personal projects to get done as well as homework I had to put off because of the paper. I have dance tonight and Alpha Sigma Alpha stuff, so much to do so little time. At least I don't really have a paper due till tues :/
Honestly if I didn't have volunteering at the preschool I would go insane. It really is the calming points in my week, crazy that 3 year olds can do that but they really make me smile and appreciate the small things. Another busy week but I will survive...as long as I get sleep!!!
I'm a girl just trying to deal with college life and find myself on the way. This is my story and the advice I have for others who may be on the same path.

Running Around
This week is crazy with so much to do and so little time. I have commitments like classes, work, volunteering and dance, but Studying needs to be done too. It drives me crazy trying to work everything out. My parents are coming this weekend which is exciting and I have basically set aside Saturday just for them. I just really need to focus and get things done with all the free time I have, which isn't much. On a lighter note I am in love with volunteering! I love the kids I hang out with at the preschool and I will fight tooth and nail for that internship! Good Luck to me! Any who back to work and using free time :/

Counting Hours
Hours before my Birthday and I am not really excited. I am happy to be turning 20 but tomorrow is nothing special, just another busy day where I am going to class, work, then dance practice. I wish it was more then that but I am constantly busy running around, not that I think a lot of people would want to help me celebrate :(
Beyond that I am trying to maintain my sanity and get stuff done. Homework is clearly top priority, but I have things with clubs and my sorority that sometimes make me feel overwhelmed. I haven't drowned yet, nor do I plan on it. I am sooooooo excited to see my parents on parents weekend in two weeks!!!!! I miss them so much and not to mention I need stuff...lol Regardless I can't wait to have a break and sit and eat with my family and get my head out of the Knox water that continues to get higher as time goes on. I have gotten one card from my grandmother and it was a great reminder that people at home miss me and still care. I know its just another reminder to do my best and that I am here at Knox for a reason. I have to succeed here...there is no other reality.
