Week 1 and Week 2

     This is the first time that I have gone to school back to back semesters with such a small break in between. Normally I either have a three month break in between tracks or I have a seven week break. This time it was only a week and a half. Really it just feels like it has been one continuous semester. I am having mixed feelings about going to school year round but I am glad because I am now only three semesters, including this current one, away from graduating!
     It has been the most stressful first few weeks of school yet. Normally it starts out pretty slow, but not this time. It has been non stop. First off I moved into a new complex, after living in Nauvoo House for three years, Ive moved to The Gates. It is more of a town home feel and I really like it. It was hard moving after living in the same apartment for so long, but it was a much needed change. I really love the layout of my new place. Anna and I live on the first floor and the other four live upstairs. Our bathroom is connected to our room and our kitchen has two fridges. If I am being honest those were the two selling points for us. It is a little smaller than what I am used to hence why my closet is packed in nice and tight. I had to really squish my clothes in there to get them to fit. I am farther from campus now too, but since its so bitter cold and snowy this winter I bought a parking pass so I don't have to walk to my classes so early in the morning. So thank goodness for that.


     School has also been crazy. Now that I am so close to graduating my classes are no nonsense. Luckily I love my major and my minor and like what I am learning, but it is definitely a lot of work. All of this on top of working at the library. So I am working 15 hours and taking 15 credits. It is busy! I am hoping this next week will be better because I will be in more of a routine. Even though this is going to be a tiring semester, I am going to make the best of it!
