Well it took working till about midnight for four days, but I finally finished. It sucks that I spent most of my Spring Break doing something for school. I did get to spend some quality time with my boyfriend and my family. It was pretty good overall and I hated to see it end. I wish it didn't go by so quickly. So Saturday I spent celebrating my two year anniversary with Jordan. It's not actually until the 30th but since I'll be in Knoxville we celebrated early. I spent the rest of the night getting my stuff packed up so I could leave after I got out of church. I really think class should have resumed Tuesday. I really did not get to enjoy Easter because I had to leave as soon as church was over. I live about five hours away, so just think about the people who live really far away. Some people probably had to skip Easter at home all together just to make it back. I just try to keep it together by thinking positively. Only a little over a month left and then we are out for summer. When I get stressed out about all the tasks that must be completed this week I keep telling myself that. So that's my Spring Break. Hope everyone else had a great one. The End

Over the past week I find myself wondering, how do people do it? How do they manage to go to school full-time, work, have an active social life, possibly a healthy relationship, while maintaining a decent GPA? Forget about the social part I would settle for a good nights sleep and not forgetting to eat. I'm so tired from being busy, but when it's time to rest I have problems falling  asleep because the anxiety I feel about what has to be completed tomorrow. The hardest part for me at the moment is not having time to talk to my boyfriend. Being in a long distance relationship what holds us together is the time we spend talking on the phone, but now there is no time for that. Between his job and my job and school our schedules never seem to match up. When I'm free he is working or tired. When he's free I'm in class, at working or preparing for a class. I guess what I'm searching for is balance. A balance between being a happy eighteen year old and a working college student. At the moment I'm not sure how to find that balance. All I have is a list of priorities: school, work, eat, sleep, and repeat. Hopefully I figure out the perfect balance soon.
