Busy

If I thought I was feeling overwhelmed before, I was wrong. This week is the most stressed I have been at college up to this point. Last week I, obviously, was missing home and having a rough time. It seemed like every little thing was getting to me, and sadly I ripped all of my nails off (You may be thinking what? But it is a horrible habit I have had since elementary school and I hadn't touched my nails upon moving to college until last week.) I was super dissappointed in myself. They may just be nails, but you can always tell my stress level by their length, which is now super short. However, things were looking up this weekend when I was able to go home and see all of my wonderful friends. I hadn't expected everyone to be so different, yet even being at the high school felt like a foreign place. I was not used to sitting, and watching the game from in the stands versus on the sideline. Alas, I had a really good time, and was super happy to sleep in my own bed. Saturday, the dreaded homecoming dance, actually turned out to be a great surprise. My boyfriend got ready and went out to eat with his friends but just as I thought he was going to the dance he came back to my house and surprised me. I am not sure if I should feel slightly selfish about my joy in him not going to the dance, but if selfish is what I am then I guess I am alright with that for now. I did not want to come back to Wartburg because as predicted I have gotten so much homework in the past day and a half. I don't always understand how teachers expect you to finish everything you need to. It would not be so bad if I didn't have two major tests this week, one of which being math. I feel like I need someone to press the pause button, but the clock remains ticking. Thank goodness for coffee and pixie sticks. I literally have been on a caffeine high, and am still so tired (which is probably why I fell climbing UP my loft ladder, and have a lovely gash to prove it). I should stop typing though because I have to study for my chemistry, study for my math, write the rest of my Animal Dreams paper, read for IS, read for biology, read for chemistry... Should I keep going or do you get the picture? So here I go...
