Rather than dwell on the fact that it's the first day of the week, I try to spend my Mondays looking ahead at the week. I'm a control freak and I like to know exactly what's coming my way:)
This is the last week of my semester, and I have 2 essays to complete by Friday, May 31st. Unfortunately, these are my focus, and I totally can't procrastinate. One is virtually finished, but the other is a long one about Ophelia from Hamlet and I'm struggling to get through it.Despite my essay push, I have derby practice on Monday and Thursday nights, and I've missed the last few due to school. I'm really going to try and get there. I love it and it's great stress-relief. Plus my derby sisters always make me feel better no matter the shitty day, week, month or year that I've had!
I spent most of my weekend putting off my essays (bad girl) but on the plus side, I finished listening to the audiobook of The Hunger Games. I was really skeptical about this one, (as I am about any book that gets the level of hype it did) but I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed the gore of The Games, muddled through the angsty teenage parts and am left lukewarm about Katniss, but looking forward to reading the next one.
I also began a new book, despite my better judgement (hand slap). I don't usually read anything not related to school while I'm in school, but with only a matter of days left and no assigned reading, I gave in and cracked open the new Dan Brown. I'm only a wee bit in, but already enjoying my poor decision:) I'm so glad to dig into the HUGE pile of TBR books I've been carefully building during this last semester.The rest of this week will hopefully bring many moments of essay inspiration so I can be done with this semester. This Saturday night I'm heading out to the bar with my life-long friend, Karyn for some well-earned live music. I'll actually get to wear make-up and do my hair! For a full-time mom, that IS a special day.
Hope this week brings you everything you need, too!!
