this semester is killing me. i had no idea that one more class (bringing the grand total up to seven...or 21 credit hours) would make such a difference but it does. i constantly feel like i am playing catch up and barely keeping my head above water. i think part of the reason is the fact that i am taking two classes that i had no desire to take (stupid gen eds.). i really feel like i need a vacation, but i dont see that happening anytime soon unfortunately. i really thought senioritis was bad in high school...i had no idea what it was going to be like in college!!

i am having a hard time with a lot of things lately. i find myself jealous of a lot of people for different reasons. i am trying to work that out and to not let things get to me, but it is hard.

*i recently babysat 4 year old twins overnight...and am proud to say that i can cross "4 year old twins" off of the list of things bree is ready for*

my dogs and i are equally going crazy with this winter crap. i know its iowa and only february but it feels like winter has been dragging on. to date des moines has had 44+ inches of snow and there has been a THICK blanket of whiteness for 55+ days. I am ready for some color!!!
