Life as an Overwhelmed College Student: 2013

I've been really bad at keeping up with this. I was kind of drowning in graduate school applications, school work, and taking care of myself/the mister/Penelope the past few months. Now I think .. it's kind of slowed down a bit. My graduation school applications have been turned in and I should find out if I was accepted into my top choice this week (YIKES).

I'm house/townhome hunting with the mister this month because my current lease is up in the beginning of May. I'd love to get a house so that we could have a yard for Penelope but there is not a lot of options in our price range and in the area we want to be in. I'm way too stressed about it. I'm sure everything will fall into place before I really have to panic!

I have FOUR weeks until school is completely over and I graduate. I get the whole summer off from school for once in my life. I have one major project, one major paper, two minor project/papers, and a handful of tests before I can breathe again. I am working every day during the week this summer (in order to save up because I won't be able to work during grad school) and I'm so looking forward to relaxing with the kids in their pool and then coming home to relax some more and get back into painting and reading for fun.

And here are some pictures from the past few months. I promise to start writing more and updating this .. especially in four weeks when I'm officially done with everything stressful for THREE MONTHS! :D
