This week was pretty busy but things seem to be slowing down just
a bit—right before the finals rush, of course. I went to the Bird’s Nest on
Friday for my friend’s 21st birthday. Its nice, all of us finally
being 21. It was a good time, but I was pretty tired so my boyfriend and I went
home a little early. I was planning to go to my congregation’s Sunday service
today, but I overslept so that didn’t happen. Today, I need to finish up this
week’s Epics homework, make a Power Point for the group presentation I have
tomorrow, and then meet up with my group to practice the presentation.
Yesterday I babysat a little boy while his dad coached his older brother’s
soccer team. I usually do this on Monday’s during their practices, but I also
do it occasionally on Saturday’s when they have games. The little boy is almost
completely silent, so it can be hard to know what he wants sometimes. But he is
cute and well-behaved, which is nice. I am now getting off at six, instead of
7:30, on Thursdays, which is such a relief as we approach finals. I only have
two more weeks left caring for the disabled woman. Since her mother is an
account, she hires extra help during tax season, but once April is over the
extra help really isn’t necessary. She did ask me if I might be interested in
doing some evening care in the future, so that she can go out. I was really
surprised she asked, but I think it would be really good for her. Everybody
deserves a little fun, right? She is a really dedicated and hard-working
mother, too. I hope she decides to do it. I don’t think she has went out on the
town—even just for a dinner—in years. Overall, it was a good week. I’m looking
forward to finishing up this semester and enjoying the summer. I wasn't sure what picture to include, so I chose this selfie I took back before I started growing my hair out. Lately all my friends have been fascinated with how long my hair is compared to back then. Ps: Yes, my step-dad is a giant.

Hey Val! I can agree with you how things are slowing down right now but are soon to erupt back again. The number of things I have to do too are piling up like crazy and, for me, probably wont be over till end of June. So I have a long ways to go. I'm glad you get out at six now, I know how stressful school can get so even that extra hour is something you can appreciate so much. I wish you the best of luck with finals and everything you're doing!
