falling behind

mood: dashboard confessional - stolen

it has finally reached that point in the semester where i'm falling behind and unwilling to compromise sleep for school. it's such a contradiction to compromise health for school; after all, isn't school an investment in your well-being? of course, i blame myself for my awful time management as of late. i have a mountain of work to do before spring break, but somehow, i don't feel as stressed as i should be. i guess it's because i know that i will get everything done no matter what, so why stress now when i will be stressed later regardless? might as well get the sleep that i will ultimately lose in a week or so.

this weekend was beautiful and sunny--and i spent all of it inside, save for the few short walks back and forth between my apartment and main campus. i guess shutting myself away from the world to do homework isn't as effective as it seems, considering how i didn't accomplish as much as i wanted to. good news is that i'm not awfully behind in classes, just slowly trudging along. i've been pretty on top of things, except for summer internship searching. no athens for me this summer, but it's for the best i suppose, considering that i can spend this last summer deciding if i really want to go back to san francisco immediately after college. not to mention it will be nice to spend my 21st birthday and 3rd year anniversary with him. plus, my 21st birthday wouldn't mean much in europe anyway.

oh spring break, how you taunt me!

new year's resolutions never made it

where did the time go? it's been almost two months since i last wrote and well, it's because there hasn't been much to say since i've been back in the states. my winter break was the usual, filled with coffee shops, assorted asian foods, and evan. a couple of friends from Bowdoin came and visited all the way from the east coast, and after that, it was back to the depressing reality of school in maine.

actually, Bowdoin has seemed surprisingly decent since i've been back. although the weather is quite uncomfortable, at least the snowfall has been a nice change of scene. my apartment is an upgrade from last year since it had been renovated over the summer, so we have a new bathroom and kitchen cabinets with freshly painted walls. i'm also not isolated off campus like last year, and everything is reasonably close. of course, ditching class and work is always tempting during the freezing mornings, but i've been persistent and kept up with all my work...thusfar. hopefully with just four classes (as opposed to 5) and weekend nights off (for the first time ever), my semester will be fabulous and with minimized stress. so far, i'm optimistic. but things can change fairly quickly around midterms.

wish me luck!
