Life has been pretty ordinary these past couple months. I've been keeping busy with dance to account for the fact that I don't have homework anymore. Work has been busy the past couple weeks, but not stressful. Not yet anyway.

More like the past week in review and looking forward to the next couple days:

• Last week was spent preparing for a training class I was giving. I had two different training classes to put together, and while they technically covered the same material, I approached each class differently. I cannot begin to explain how stressed out I was. I'm so ( Read more... )

Without a doubt, Mary was the best roommate a girl could ask for. I am spoiled from living with her for 3 years. I love my new roommate, but Mary holds a special place in my heart.
