Brain Emptying at its finest

So my original thought for this blog was to be a place where I would post maybe once a week and be done with it until my summer took off. Now I feel like it's a place to empty my brain and get my thoughts out without saying it out loud.

Stress has quickly become an unwelcome constant in my life. At least from now until the weekend of March 18. I usually can remain calm and generally avoid stress while still getting a lot done. But this is too much for me already. Between my student organization's activity we are hosting in March to the slew of reading I have for classes to my frustration with my waitressing job, it's just a little much right now. I know that it will pass and I will get through it but jeez. I've said this before and I'll say it again. I really think that life after college will almost be easier to manage. We'll go from taking a full load of classes, juggling and internship and a job to just one job (hopefully).

On a positive note, my friends and I had a "family" dinner last night. We were at my friend's house and had dinner with his dad and brother and there were a total of 9 of us at the table with a HUGE bowl of pasta and an equally huge bowl of salad in the middle of the table. At one point, it was silent except for eating sounds...that's when you know the meal was good. And it was a home-cooked meal with my amazing friends. I loved it, but then I got an overwhelming feeling of homesickness and even teared up for a few seconds.

So that is my brain emptying for the day. Sorry if I sounded a little bit whiny but it's going to be one of those days. =).
