So I’m in my India class right now and looking forward to the end of the evening. I made an executive decision to listen to a little birdie in Bali, and take a day off. Two, actually. Tomorrow and Wednesday I have one class each day, and aside of one two-page reflective analysis I have to write I am completely caught up on all my work. My India professor assigned an eight-page research paper, which I completed last Friday, and turned into today.

I went to my voice class this morning with a terribly sad, downtrodden mindset. My voice teacher, who is totally amazing and positive, gave me the best pep-talk and really just made me feel better about who I am and what I’m doing. It has just been easier to get all sidetracked by the ferocity of it all than to fight off the negative thoughts and smile my way through it. So even though I can’t take both days off from work, I’m taking time away from school (that won’t leave me behind).

I plan on doing the homework that is due Thursday at my leisure, cleaning up my apartment, doing some class reading (to stay ahead), and maybe even cook some food to bring with me to work/school for the rest of the week.

So looking forward to it. Oh man. Tuesday morning awaits.
