Lazy Days

I've forgotten how much I love weekends.

That's not to say I haven't enjoyed the last few weekends, because I have. I've had a great time!

But you can't appreciate order without first understanding chaos.

Friday was my first day of classes. Five classes in a row is not going to be easy. I'm only one day in and I already have a full homework load. Keeping track of all of my classes as well as the other responsibilities I have as a college student might just be the death of me.

But that's okay, because this kind of weekend brings me life.

Today I woke up feeling more rested than I have in weeks. I took my time getting up, listening to some music and checking in on my roommates. Then I gathered two books, a mug, and an assortment of teas and made the trek up to Sierra's room. We built a fort out of her bunk and some blankets, using a heated blanket for the floor and hanging Japanese lanterns on the ceiling. Once construction was complete, we curled up with some snacks and read for hours! It was a perfect afternoon.

After dinner, me and the guys went to Target to pick up some supplies. My best purchase: a giant pitcher of orange juice. Now that I have to get up at 8:00, I'm gonna try to get decent sleep and eat a bit healthier than I did this last semester.

Now we're all just hanging out, laughing and eating Swedish fish. It's a good night.

I'm excited for this new semester! Here's to new beginnings.

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.
