Remember a couple weeks ago when I when I said I was failing miserably at the whole balance thing?
It hasn’t really gotten better.
I’m not too sure if school is getting harder, or I’m getting lazier (or both), but I’m having a really rough time this semester.
I’ve been trying to get everything done, but it hasn’t been going all that well. I even needed supervision last week just to make sure I got my essay finished.
I finished it, but it wasn’t even close to my best work. I feel like I’m burning out, so I haven’t been giving my all to anything for awhile.
See, the thing is, there’s just so much else I would rather be doing. Like taking the dog for a long walk in the trails with a boy . . .
And then giving her a bath when the trails made her smell awful.
And then watching her as she punished me by rolling around in my laundry after said bath.
Or having a girls night that involved way too much food, and Magic Mike.
All these things are way more fun than sitting around and reading my text books. Which is why I’m sucking so hard in school right now.
Last year, I was so inspired and excited to be in school, but this year, I’m just tired of it. It’ll be fun to see how I get through the next 3 years (or so). Hopefully I’ll get it together sometime between now and then, because seriously, my slacking is getting seriously out of hand.
Welcome! I'd love to hear from you: leah *at* whydeprive *dot* com
Things tend to get pushed aside when there are boys to walk your dog with
Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’ll get back in there. Everyone slacks off at some point during school.
I didn’t realize that sounded kind of dirty until now, but I’m okay with it
haha I’m ok with it too.
I also recently decided I was sick of school. Luckily spring break is next week. I may have lost it.
I watched nothing but TV last night, also. Great minds.
Good luck on the whole balance thing. Hope your weekend is relaxed.
oh man….3 years??
You can do it Leah! I believe in you!
There are definitely slumps during schooling. I know I had a few semesters where I just did not care about what I was doing. I think I experience that at work, too, on occasion. You’ll get the mojo back. And… boys?!?!
I just can’t get over the fact that lexie stayed put in the tub and let you take a picture of her. I mean, really THAT is impressive.
She’s freakishly good that way. She won’t even jump up onto the couch without my permission she’ll just sit there and stare at it (unless I’m not home, then she likes to climb up there and throw all the pillows around).
Meh, chalk it up to a bit of a sophomore slump. We’ve all had those at some point! I say just live your life and the motivation will come back when it’s supposed to.
I think this is a totally normal feeling to have! But really hard to get out of
I hear ya on not wanting to study and just wanting to have some freakin’ free time! You already work so hard! 
Oh wet dogs are just as cute as dry dogs! And I’m right there with you in terms of school/studying. I’m over it!
Cutest picture of Lexie ever. And you know how much I like my Lexie pics. Anyhow, try to keep staying on track. Remind yourself that the end result is worth the torture because you do want a better life i the long run. It’s just really hard to see the forest through the trees when you are pretty miserable. Hopefully, Spring break is coming up soon and just in time to give you a much needed recharge. Take care Leah!
Tried to Pin the Lexie bath pic but it doesn’t show up on Pinterest. Not sure why?
