stalling

i really shouldn't be blogging. i should, as a matter o' fact, be translating two pages of english text to german. but i'm going to blog because i'm feeling overwhelmed with life and this usually helps.

there are 7 school days left of the semester. there's the first stress. so much to do in so very little time as it is at the end of every semester. and, like me, everyone else is procrastinating and will end up pulling one or two all nighters, but not until absolutely necessary. not until the bitter end. the bitter end for me being next wednesday night around 8:00. but hopefully all is well by then...hopefully. so, i think until then, instead of bitching about all of the things i have to do i'm going to write down some things that i'm grateful for. here goes...

1. for my loving family and friends who can always make me smile and always give me a shoulder to cry on

2. for my dog who always understands me

3. for a great boyfriend who likes me for me

4. for KU football's kick ass season. 11-1 ain't too shabby. :)

5. for my mom, as she is my rock and i am hers. plus, she's taking the pressure off of me and taking care of all of the post-recital food and drink details.

6. for getting snow the day after thanksgiving...it was quite pretty for the time it was there even though it melted pretty fast.

so. time is time. i don't really think it can be wasted or saved, we just spend it, live it and try our best not to rush through it. may we all do a little less bitching and a little more thinking about what we are grateful for in our lives. at the very least, we should be grateful that we ARE alive, for that is a great gift in itself.
