It's getting to be that time again...

So, with two weeks left and then finals, it is getting to be that time again where I am obsessively creating lists.

Why? Finals week is coming up and I still have so much to do before that! Including: finishing assignments, creating a 10 minute presentation, and preparing for a philosophy final.

Not only that, but I'm not exactly sure what the schedule is for the spring semester and I still need a place to live for that... (Nick, if you're reading this, I'm going to talk it out with the parents tomorrow so please don't worry about it)

I still need to figure out a new schedule for Gymboree if possible and work out spring semesters schedule. Maybe I'll take some time tonight, after finishing up a french paper, and work out all the scheduling.

Either way, it'll all work out.

I've started reading a new book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I actually bought it last year with the intention of reading it, and never got around to it. The first whole part of the book deals with something that I have been struggling with for the past month or so and that is following your dreams. Where, there is nothing stopping someone from doing what they want except themselves and the fear of change that holds them back. Or rather, the fear of sacrifice to go after what one really wants.

Another issue addressed in the first part of the book is balance. Balancing the things that are really important to you and the things that you want to do or see and how important it is to never forget that balance.

It's funny how fate puts things in front of you at the most opportune times.

For now, I'm off to work. Then I'll be burying my mind in the french language before waking up at an ungodly hour to teach some children music.

Love
Elie
