This semester especially, when my workload has been hefty, I've really stayed on top of my work, but in doing so I haven't really taken much time for myself. I didn't think it was a big deal, I mean school was focusing on me so it was all the same right? About a week ago I really hit a wall of exhaustion. I was burnt out and I had no energy left. But, I was going to needs tons more energy seeing as finals are fast approaching and I have quite a few papers to write. I was reading a book (for a class) last weekend when I realized that I wouldn't make it to May if I didn't take some time to relax and be calm again. I know I sound crazy and I probably need therapy, but I really needed to do me for a while. So this week, while still doing all of my homework, instead of over preparing, I did all I could that was necessary for the week, and I used the rest of my time to do what I wanted. I made a good dinner, I blasted music and danced around the kitchen, I watched movies and TV, I mean I even watched survivor. And tonight my plan is to do no homework at all, seeing as that my spring break starts at 6:45 pm today, bake a really tasty dessert, and go to bed early.
I don't think I realized how important it is to take a breather every once in a while. That it's ok to slow down, and sometimes, your mind really needs you to. So, in honor of focusing on you,
