Waiting For Spring

I'm seriously over winter. I'm done with snow. I'm done with dark layered clothing. Spring can't come soon enough. I'm ready to pull out the sun dresses and spend some time outdoors. I'm not much of a tanner, but I do miss the feel of sunshine on my skin and I can't wait to see flowers.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) I've been too busy to spend much time out in the dreary weather anyway. I didn't think it was possible, but this semester is even harder than last semester. My biggest struggle has been to keep the positives in mind and not feel sorry for myself. I'm here because this is where I want to be, and I'm working towards my goals. So I have every reason in the world to embrace life and live joyfully. But I might still complain every now and then :)

I'm really looking forward to Thursday, when some friends and I are going to watch Alvin Ailey. They are doing revelations and had student tickets on sale for only $10!

Sleep

Unfortunately, I can't give a real review of the Iberian Pig. When we got there, we were told the kitchen was closed for the night so we just ordered some sangria. It was pretty awesome sangria though.

My sleep has been suffering lately. And by lately, I mean since law school started. Honestly, I think we all could use a few more hours of sleep. Sleep is so important for our health. I find a real difference in my skin, hair, mood, and general health when I consistently get enough sleep. Sadly, it is just not possible at the moment since I have so much work. I could probably get in a few more hours each week by not socializing, exercising, or relaxing between reading assignments, but it is important to have a life other than work and sleep. So for now, I rely on way too much caffeine to get me through my days.

On a more positive note, the weather this weekend was amazing. It was up between 60 and 70 on both Saturday and Sunday. I am already fantasizing about spring and sun dresses and lying out by the pool at our apartment complex.

Shout out to Meg and Christina: You were both right about Naturally More Almond Butter! Thanks for the recommendation.
