Curve Balls and Sleepless Nights

     There comes a point every semester as a college/graduate student that you realize that there is a high chance you will not be getting enough sleep for the next few days. It's really no one's fault - you've always been on top of you work, but a curve ball just changed your entire game plan.

     Now that curve ball could be anything from a teacher sending you a massive rewrite to the project you've been working on three days before it's due to having a crazy amount of hours at work to just plain forgetting something that is due this week. Or it could be all three.

     Basically, this is what I am facing at the beginning of the week. Sometimes, the fight isn't so much staying ahead as it is just getting through the next day. As an adult, there is a lot of things that have to be balanced and given attention to - it's just part of growing up. Sometimes it sucks. I just have to keep telling myself that these sleepless nights will all pay off in the end. 


    Also - happy spring to all! I don't know if y'all have watched the weather for up north or not, but our first and second day were filled with snow. You read that right, folks. Boston brought in spring with more snow. Truth be told, the weather is fighting to be warmer. Every so often we have been able to get a nice sunny day; it would be nice if there wasn't a bitter wind attached to it. 

     I would like to be able to have a countdown to when my next break is, but I don't have one. I will be going from Spring to a full summer schedule right back into fall. So when I'm back home come Christmas, I will probably be in a hibernation mode to gear up for that final semester. Because, let's be honest, teachers don't do much sleeping, either. :P

     I can't believe that I'm almost half way done with my Master's. Good, bad, and ugly, it is quite amazing how time flies by! There is a tiny pinpoint of light at the end of this tunnel. I just need to pace myself so that I make it there in one piece. I can do this!
     Until next time,

Kaity 

P.S. Samantha and Zach - your letters will be sent this week. I promise!!
