i have about six weeks of school left, and everything feels as if it is slowly beginning to wind down, which makes me feel very excited and at the same time very overwhelmed because i know how much stuff i need to get finished before the semester ends. i am doing a really good job at making myself work on it all, though, and i feel like it is already going better and less stressful than i had imagined. i just can't wait to know that it is all finished and to finally have a day to do what i want to do instead of what i have to do...

...the feel of spring and knowing that sunny days and warm weather will soon be here to stay makes it all so much more bearable, though.
