Sunday night thoughts

I had a wicked bad ear infection this weekend (it's still not gone) so I had a lot of quality lounging/sleeping time. I missed out on some fun opportunities with friends this weekend which sucks but when my body says slow down, I listen.

Anyway, as I was laying in bed thinking about how much I was missing out on, I also got to thinking about how much homework I wasn't doing. Then I thought, "Whoa, hang on a second there, Katie. Your scholarships have already been applied and don't need to be renewed, you have ONE MONTH left of school and you're sick as a dog, so relax."

All my life I've been a go-get-that-A-and-don't-settle-for-less student and now, with one month left, I can't get rid of that annoying voice in my head telling me to do my homework. That voice wasn't put there by my parents or my teachers--it's just always been there. It needs to shut the hell up.

So what if I make a B in my English class because I didn't feel like reading 6 novels this semester? IT DOESN'T MATTER.

In a month, what sense will it make if I haven't found a job because I was doing my homework instead of job searching?

No one has ever told me "you need to get that A or else" ever ever ever in my life. It's just something I've always done. For once, I'm going to try really hard to not let that get the best of me in my last month of college.

So, if you see me freaking out this week, remind me of this blog.

I don't like to post without a picture, so here's a throwback to when I visited TCU for the first time back in January of 2005. It was my only college tour. Love at first sight, you may say. What northerner wouldn't be in love with 65 degrees and sunshine in the middle of January?
