Furlough Day!

Thank goodness for those much needed furlough days! I didn't have class this morning so I slept in until 11 (I haven't slept past 9 since Labor Day weekend!) then had a lazy morning. I got all my laundry done, had a relaxing lunch at home, and worked on my homework. Between doing a million loads of laundry, sitting at my desk half the day, and feeling like I was getting a much needed day off, I couldn't help but laugh about how "grown up" this all felt! I don't think I ever realized the importance of a lazy day until today! It was nice though to have a day to myself since I feel like all I've been doing lately is going nonstop. I've been working on homework, helping at church, studying, going to class, or some other sort of activity and I haven't really had the time to just sit back and relax for a second. I LOVE having a busy life and I feel so blessed to be going to college, have a great church to help at and attend, and have great friends that are always asking me to hang out... But it just wares me down sometimes.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving break and spending time with my family. I miss seeing them everyday! It will be nice to go home for more than 2 days at a time and be able to eat some real food! I plan on spending an extreme amount of time on the couch with my pugglet and kitty cat while watching everything on the dvr that I've been missing out on! I can't wait! I also CANNOT believe that this semseter is going by so quick! It's already November and I have my second round of midterms coming up... Where has the time gone?! It was just about 2 1/2 months ago that I was completely freaking out about moving away from home and going to school and now I can't even imagine my life any different! It's crazy how quickly things change!
