Spring Fever!

We have had absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather this past week.  It is making everybody crazy!  I am so ready for permanent warm weather.  Spring is definitely my favorite time of the year and I'm so looking forward to it!  It's making it hard to concentrate when it is so pretty outside.  When I walk to class and it is nice outside there are people sitting out on the lawn and eating lunch or doing homework.  It is like a perfect picture of what those college brochures look like.  I love it!

Balancing Act

Being in college requires balancing a lot of things and some major multi-tasking.  For example, as I am writing this I am waiting on my laundry to finish and eating lunch.  I have to balance massive amounts of school work with extracurricular activities with a social life with regular hygiene.  It can get really difficult sometimes.  I LOVE to be involved on campus--I was really involved in high school and I just like to be busy with important things to do.  People always talk about being able to say "no" though.  I just don't know at what point I would have TOO much to do.  Am I there?  Am I past that point?  I have a meeting almost every night, hours of homework, and plenty of friends.  And I am still applying for organizations and I'm running for a Student Government Senate seat.  Am I overbooked?  How will I know??

These are just some things that I've been thinking about lately.  I guess I'll figure it out soon!  I hope...

That time of the year...

It is officially that time of the year when everyone gets sick.  My roommate just got over the flu, my two best friends and my sister have bad colds and another of my friends has bronchitis.  It's horrible!  Somehow I have managed to escape the illness so far but I am pretty sure that my turn is coming. I mean I can't be surrounded by all of this and stay healthy for that much longer.  I am just trying to pump my system full of vitamin C and good stuff.  And am washing my hands like a crazy person and disinfecting our room and bathroom twice daily.  Maybe I'm being a little paranoid but I don't have time to be sick!
