• It's been a while, I know.

  I spent the last few weeks in the States, 2/3 in LA and 1 week on the east coast. Vacation was wonderful. I didn't do a lick of school work, and I didn't feel guilty about it. It was a true vacation; I needed life to stop for a little while, and it did.

  But now I'm faced with getting back into the swing of things after a number of weeks of being pampered with all the time in the world to do what I wanted. I ate, I slept, I played, I cooked, I shopped, and best of all, I spent days on end with Mark. The east coast trip was great and I came away thinking and feeling like a part of the gang; I get the warm fuzzies thinking about it. The rest of my time in LA was mostly spent playing video games. Life doesn't get much better than that.

  I couldn't have planned a better schedule for our first week back. Quite a number of lectures and labs were canceled which left me with lots of time in the middle of the day to run errands or to just come back for a much needed nap. I'm not sure why but the exhaustion of it all is taking its toll and though I sleep 8-9 hours a night, I still get tired through the day. Maybe I just need this weekend to recover...after all, it's only my 5th day back.

  Now what? Time to get back on track with school. I have an assignment due on Monday, and another before we head off for calving in August. I just want to keep on top of things...I need to pass 4th year. I don't want to be apart any longer.

  Other things that's been brewing - Mark's supposed to be down for a visit in September, new approach to money and finances, adjusting to life with flatties, on a diet and exercise regime because I have a race to win, and in general just trying to balance responsibilities with my needs.

  Life's good...not easy, but good.
