This week left me especially drained. There are so many thoughts running through my head at all hours of the day that it leaves me feeling empty by the end of the week. When I look at my to-do list and the fact that I have three weeks to get it all accomplished, I start searching for a paper bag to breathe in....and out....
That's why I'm so thankful for the ability to collect happy moments like shopping for my graduation dress and listening to records between class. I'm not going to lie, quite a few tears have been shed and I'm sure there are more to come as the weeks continue to fly by. I just need to remember the good things like knitting, blogging, and sleeping in on Saturday mornings. :)
Here's to a happy weekend for all of us! I hope you have a little time to relax and take a few deep breaths.
I understand you!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy life feels the same; so little time and so much to do. But I really love reading your blog and looking at your wonderful photos. It makes me happy!

I have been there and it is not easy. Try to focus on the freedom and peace you will have when it's all over!!It's an amazing feeling to get it done, and you will be kicking back with tea and buns before you know it ;)
ReplyDeleteAll you can do is take a day at a time, MINUTE at a time if you have to. These next few weeks will be stressful, yes, but they'll fly by so quickly and before you know it, you'll be lookin back on all this from some cute cafe in Europe thinking, "Wow. It's over, I survived, I am awesome!" You've got this ladybird, just keep breathing. Onetwothreepeaceful, as I always say, haha (:
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica! You are so right! :)
DeletePS those dresses are GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteAll these photos are so pretty... and I really like the new header that I just noticed :) So much prettiness...
ReplyDeleteha, i know how you feel! I'm finishing up school as well. Pretty stressed out :)! Your photo's are lovely though! I do the same to keep my sanity ;) take pictures, do crafts, play with my pets! All nice little moments to keep calm and carry on! I wish i knew you in real life! You seem like a great person to be around!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Esmee. You can make it through this stressful time too! :)
DeleteLovely pictures. They make me happy:)
ReplyDeleteLife can get so hectic sometimes and seem overwhelming when there is so many things we want to accomplish. I think sometimes we put too many demands on ourselves. Try to relax a bit and drink lots of tea...tea always helps in any situation! Take care!

Beautiful photos! I love that pink peter pan collared dress in that last picture, adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou have a gift for taking pleasure in the small things of life, which will surely see you through the difficult times. I'm long past those stressful years of higher education but I'm reliving it through my daughters who are both revising for exams. It's not easy but it passes. And tea helps!
ReplyDeletei love seeing your pictures on instagram--they are always so pretty:) as for the stress, know that it won't last forever. graduation is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteI remember the many tears in the final weeks of school. It will be over so soon and then you won't have any more homework and tests to worry about. Just keep it up. You're doing great.
ReplyDeleteWell done you are coping the perfect way, not many people take time out to notice the beauty and special things that surround us. Good luck with your last few weeks and enjoy your graduation :-)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your Instagram photos and this post makes them even more special. I'm glad you're able to find a few happy moments during this challenging period. The end of a school year (and program especially) can be extrodinarily stressful but can create such good memories. I love thinking back to the end of my college program and remembering how hard I worked to get through it. It reminds me that I am capable of doing the things I set out to do.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chantilly. I really appreciate your encouragement and perspective! I wish I could give each one of you a hug on the day I graduate. :)
DeleteLife can certainly pile up can't it? I always find myself lost in a whirlwind and by the time I get out a few months have passed! Best wishes on keeping everything in line!
