Pumpkins

I feel so busy lately. I swear, it seems I have less and less time to do things I actually enjoy. College homework is literally taking over my life! This is the first time I have even had a chance to be on the computer, or the Internet I should say, because I have been so busy writing papers and doing other homework. I am definitely getting more stressed as midterms quickly approach. It is sad because with all this talk we have done about being intrinsically motivated you would think that I would be excited to learn, and I should be, but in reality I already want to be done with college, hah. Maybe I am just getting homesick again, who knows, but I can say that I did not particularly want to come back this weekend. I just love being at home, and while I don't feel sad being here anymore, I just feel so stressed. I am so ready for Christmas break, even though I know it is still a good two months away. I feel better though because I got my Portrait of a Learner paper done tonight so that took some stress off my shoulders. I still feel like I could always be doing something though, which is not always a fun feeling. I am starting to think this is probably what a mom feels like all the time though, always having to tend to someone else and what not. When I was younger I always told my mom I wanted five kids, hah! I think I was probably being a little unrealistic. I don't know how, being at an older age and more tired than I am now, I would ever be able to handle that many. It definitely makes me appreciate my mom more though. Now if only my homework would start doing itself then I would really have something to appreciate. This week/weekend went well though. I am tired, but I had a great time. I got to go to UNI to see my girlfriends, and finished my weekend off at home with my family and Brett carving pumpkins. I'm sure I'll post some pictures here soon. I am a huge picture fanatic.
