Academics, Indeed Stressors

So I'm sitting here in a slightly "redecorated" home, a wall is orange in the living room and the kitchen is green and tan. I like it, it is a welcome change to this house, as will be the new carpet my mom wants to get. So as I sit with my coffee and my house in utter disarray I cannot help but think something completely unrelated to everything I've just written.

I guess the Christmas feeling hasn't really arrived yet. People keep talking about Christmas and quite frankly I forget it's so close. This is not to say that I keep forgetting about our Savior's birth, I remember that all the time, it doesn't take a holiday or a nativity scene to stir up emotions about the Messiah's miraculous birth. Maybe it will come soon, I love Christmas, I love that I get to see my family which should be a more frequent occurrence looking at how close we live to one another.

Maybe I've just been living with a bunch of pressure and stress lately that it has taken over a lot of the things in the near future that are less stressful. I mean our final exams are in a few weeks and after that, thats it, not like mid-terms where you can pick it up, no...your done. So this is kind of making me twinge a little inside just talking about it. Projects are due soon, other tests that have to be taken because of those days away because of the NMC.

Lots to do...not a lot of time, Christmas is far down the list of things to be focused on. I hate that, but such is life. I'll just keep praying that it can all get done smoothly and efficiently.

All to God.
