Summer starts on June 9th for me. That's only 26 days of this quarter left.

It cannot come too soon for me.

I have been really down, lately. I have too much going on, and I'm stretched too thin. I'm discouraged about my classes, about some of my personal relationships, about my never ending battle with my weight, about our finances, and about all the things I want to do and just can't seem to find time for.

I want to build some raised beds and plant. I want to weed the front walk and get some bright flowers in the oak barrels and planter boxes I bought last year and never put out. I want to scrub the kitchen from top to bottom and go through all the dishes and replace the ones I don't like with ones I do like, and clean the cupboards out, and fix some of the things that are broken... and, and, and, and....

Right now, I don't have time to come home, sleep for 8 hours, take an hour to get ready in the morning and eat breakfast and leave. I've been home for about 5 or 6 hours out of every 24, and usually I am fitting finishing homework, eating, sleeping, getting up again and showering into those 5 or 6.

Just let me get through finals, and lets see what the summer will hold.
