Mid-Semester Slump

Half of last week was fall break, which means I got to go home and visit with my puppies and family.  It was absolutely beautiful at home which made it feel like summer all over again.  Which was fun for a few days, but now I have run into a problem: the unavoidable mid-semester slump.

Getting back to school even after those few days off, it's been difficult to focus.  I'll have a really productive day, generally sandwiched between a few really unproductive days.  I think the problem this year is that not only do I have school work, but I'm also slogging through test-prep for the LSAT in December, which is actually rapidly approaching. I can't wait until I'm actually being paid to work on the same thing for hours on end!

I did have a nice break this weekend, when some friends threw a pasta-bake.  Yep, that means we sat around eating amazing Italian food for three or so hours.  Seriously, this was a fantastic way to decompress.

Good luck with your Monday, folks.  Any tips on mid-semester motivation?

Indulging My Inner Artist

Wow, it's certainly been a long time since I last posted.  Sorry for that!  This whole YouTube thing has really taken off and I honestly completely forgot about this blog.  Oops!

But no more!  I will try to post more regularly for the rest of the summer at least, and plan to try sprucing the place up a bit.  I was gifted a blog design e-course for Christmas, which I plan to finally get around to using this up coming month.  Besides, it's time for my yearly blog rearrangement, don't you think?

Thanks so much for all your patience.  For today, how about a look back at all of the awesome things I got to create this past semester while pretending to be an art student?

Just Keep Swimming

Tomorrow is my last day of finals exams and papers and, true to my habit of procrastination, I'm working up until the very second! I've got a marvelous combination of Mighty Leaf Chamomile Citrus tea, my Enya Pandora station, and the promise of a KitKat bar keeping me going strong. It may sound strange, but it's worked so far...

Getting Down to Business

Happy weekend everyone!  It's absolutely gorgeous here in the city, as it always is when I tend to have a lot of work due.  Seriously, I think the universe just likes to mess with me.  But we're already coming up on midterms in these next two weeks, which means I need to really buckle down and step up my productivity.

Which probably means I should stop writing blog posts just for the sake of avoiding my essays.  One step at a time, right?

Adventures in Sunny SF

Sunbathers in Golden Gate Park

These last couple weeks have been absolute torture.  San Francisco has been hit by a run of seriously gorgeous weather, and yet all of us poor students have to toil away inside working on final exams and projects!  I stubbornly attempted to mix sun and studying yesterday, and was rewarded for my efforts with a sunburn!  Even when I'm doing work, I'm not very focused.  All I can think about right now is sun and baseball.

The end of this semester can not come soon enough!
