This pic gives me mental clarity ^_^

First order of business: Finals

This week is winding down and the projects and tests are winding up (much to my chagrin). But I know that this time, next week, I’ll be done and packing up my life to move out of this room and back home, where my family and puppies and summer opportunities await me. (More on those opportunities later.) I really don’t have much to say about finals other than that I have five of them, that I will be continuing to work night shifts during the week of finals, and that I have yet to really start studying. Fun.

I will say that one of my last posts was geared towards this goal I had, which included a Shopping Ban– basically a rule that stated anything unnecessary (that morning latte, that new skirt, that adorable stationary set) was off-purchasing-limits. Thing is, I never really published a list of what was allowed. And I realize that in an undertaking like this, I need to be specific, so as not to blur the lines (as I have in the past week– yes, I have stumbled!). So this is me, trying to get back on track with my life again.
