Taking a Breather


I'm taking a break from school tonight. I turned in a paper earlier, spent all afternoon in class, and decided I just wanted to go back to the house and chill with the dogs. Hubby flew to a friend's out-of-town wedding, so I can have a little time for myself. I wish I had my paints and collage stuff over here, cause I'd love to make something tonight.

Thankfully, the school quarter is almost over. I am taking off Sunday night to write a final paper for one of my classes. Then, I have about ten days to write a 12-14 pager for another one. I'll probably take another deep breath in between and try to do a little Christmas shopping. I'm definitely on the grad-student budget though.

We are going to Utah again for Christmas. I'm a little concerned about traveling while pregnant, especially with the complications, but I figure I can handle ten days away from home okay. I'll just have to tell people I need my rest and chill time this year. Hopefully, I can catch up on some fiction reading and call a couple friends on my cell. It can be hard to get much alone time on these family visits, but I am committed to my own cause and have a good excuse.
