Work Week’s Got Me Beat
September 2nd, 2011 | Categories: School, Work | 4 CommentsWhen the earliest I can get home on any given day of the working week is 5p.m. (on a Friday!), it is very telling just how all-consuming my class/work/internship schedule is. Needless to say, I’m beat from this week. It’s almost 6p.m. on a Friday evening and I’m sitting on my couch in my PJ’s watching reruns of NCIS like an old lady. Not gonna lie, it’s kind of nice that I have absolutely nothing planned for tonight but to relax and unwind. Oh, and maybe tackle some of my readings…
I know I’ve talked about how busy I am on this blog before and it might seem like I’m complaining but I’m not, honestly. My schedule is something I chose and I’m happy with all the things that I’m doing. I just think it’s kind of scary how fast I went from being a freshman with a handful of classes and a schedule that was wide open in terms of free time to a totally jam-packed schedule where I’m juggling sixteen things at once. How did I grow up so fast? Where did the time go? Am I really expected to be an Adult in the Real World come graduation next year?!
(Oh, and in news I meant to post earlier but I completely forgot to and now it’s kind of late and outdated: I survived both the DC earthquake and Hurricane Irene last week without incident, minus the 24 hours or so I lost power due to Irene. My area was incredibly lucky as others were not as fortunate with either, or both, of the natural disasters.)

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: you rock my socks, dude. Really and truly. I bow down to you.
As someone in the same boat as you (just starting last year of college too), does it comfort you to know that you’re not alone? (Sure does for me!) It seems only yesterday when I walked around campus as a nervous little freshman. And now we’re almost graduated! Where did all the time go?
Anyways, you are an awesome person, and clearly have done very well. Go relax a bit over the weekend! I think that you deserve it.
I look at the freshmen on my campus now and think, “Surely they aren’t old enough to be in college?!” They are so TINY! And they look so terrified!!
