HAWAII

I bought a plane ticket! Some other girls in the program and I decided that winter+school is taking its toll so we are off to warmer weather. I had some skymiles saved up and got my ticket for $10! Perfect for a budge-conscious graduate student. We are going to Oahu which means I also get to see my friends Heather and Robert and their new little baby, Hadley. In the meantime I get to finish accounting projects, piles of readings, and a midterm. Needless to say I am counting down the days, 18 to be precise. Can't wait!

Thursday Is the New Friday

In the last few months I have come to love and appreciate Thursdays as I never have before. Our midweek-days are typically ignored, and for good reason. If you are like me we are usually recuperating from Monday and trying so desperately to reach Friday that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all seem like a blur. I love the feeling one gets on Friday when you know you've made it through another week and the weekend lies fresh and free before you. And since I have been in school with classes only held Mon-Thurs I get to feel that one day sooner each week. So, all I can say today (Thursday) is TGIT!
