So long home cooked meals and lazy days watching football (which I still don’t completely understand). Hello work week. Before leaving the company of my parents, we shared one last meal together. My mom took advantage of a few of our leftovers, and made pork for the sake of a white meat that wasn’t turkey. [...]

It still hasn’t hit me yet. Do I really not have any readings to do? Tests [...]
I’m not sure what my deal is but I am having the HARDEST time focusing on my exam. I think it is a combination of uninteresting material and the thoughts of finishing school looming in my head. I have been doing work at a snail’s pace, finding things to distract me left and right. Initially, [...]
