Hello gang. Apologies for not being able to blog for a while. It has been a tough couple of weeks with school/midterms/trying to figure out what to do with my life/etc. But now that I am done with midterms (and yes, on Tuesday), I can finally relax.and be able to write this blog.
A couple of weekends ago (before what turned out to be another crappy week) I went back home to Lawrence, Kansas for the weekend...mainly it was to bring some of the stuff from my apartment back to Lawrence so I wouldn't have to worry about it later. However, I made the trip sort of like a mini-vacation for myself and sort of a "refresher." I got to be around my loving parents and my awesome miniature pinscher Brutus. It was just nice to be home and be away from the distractions and the stresses of Creighton, even if it was only for an evening on Friday, the whole day Saturday, and the morning on Sunday.
I admire my parents so much, and that admiration has especially grown since I have come to Creighton and been away from them. Both of my parents are currently working two jobs and are very successful. And they did all of this without graduating from college (which I didn't actually find out until I was applying for schools my senior year of high school). Before college, I would always seemed to get annoyed with their constant bickering for me to do well and get better. But once I found out that they had not graduated from college, it showed me why my parents were so hard on me. As I went through my college career when I was away from my parents, but I feel like I am closer to my parents than ever before. And Brutus...there isn't much to say except Brutus helps to put a huge smile on my face even when I am feeling my worst. Just his energy and his canine enthusiasm just brighten up the room and makes me happy. It also makes my mom happy, which is really nice to see since our first dog passed away.
It was a good thing that I went home, because the week that followed was not my favorite...three tests, part of a project, and research for a project all due. Add some personal stuff going on, and you have a recipe for disaster. It wasn't as bad as the week that I describe in my previous blog post eons ago, but it was still not the best week. If I didn't go home the weekend before...I probably would not have handled this previous week as well.
To conclude, I would like to offer an apology to those who may follow me on Twitter. I know that over the past few weeks, my tweets haven't been too happy or pleasant at all. With homework, studying, being close to graduation, personal stuff (girl problem, some family stuff, etc.), it all just seems to hit me at once. And I know that since I have been some of in a downer mode, there have been people who may have not talked to me as much as previously, which is understandable (shrugs). But I would like to thank those who have asked me if I am ok and have told me to tweet more positively (Kevin Harrington). But now that Spring Break is approaching, I might be able to finally look forward to life again instead of being a complete Negative Nancy about it.We will see how things go after the break...hopefully a lot better for me.
(crosses fingers)
