Weekly Update:
I swear, I am having the best day ever. After a four hour stint in Starbucks yesterday (a new one opened up close to my house!), I finally finished one of the two papers due for my last two classes. Only two more assignments to go!! (Another paper, and the annotated bibliography. Don't ask me why they are separate assignments.) Before I set out, I texted Jake, "I am going to finish this paper TODAY or I am not going to soccer tonight." I find these kind of ultimatums scary to make, but motivating and helpful. Needless to say, I FINISHED IT (though it still needs some proofreading before I turn it in) and went heavy-handed on the rewards: eegees, soccer, and a phone date with my beau. ^-^
Today, I had a huge chunk of free time and I thought, "What am I going to do with my day off?" (besides catch up on chores and blogging, of course). While talking to my mom this morning, I said, "You know what sounds really good right now? A ham and cheese croissant. Where could I get one?" So, I went to LeBuzz cafe, for no reason at all (except the croissant, that is.). I wasn't there to study or grab coffee with someone or anything. Just getting out of the house. I took a book with me. And it was one of the most glorious mornings I've ever spent. I also decided that my ideal lifestyle involves a daily breakfast of coffee and a croissant (ideally, but not necessarily, in a cafe). How lovely would that be?
