This week in particular has been crazy but also a lot of fun. My best friend and I went to Waco this weekend for the OU football game and I got to show her around my hometown and spend some time with my family. It was a super fun and restful weekend, something that I desperately needed after the crazy beginning of the semester. Also, OU won (barely) so that's always a plus too!

As far as this week itself, it is always crazy getting back from being out of town and preparing for another crazy week ahead. I had a couple of tests and assignments this week, making it slightly stressful. I also have a lot going on outside of school that is proving to be a cause of stress so finding time to decompress and wind down so that I can keep my sanity in tact has been nothing short of crucial. This coming week, I will have to do better with my time management and not allowing myself to get super freaked out about something that is not completed before there is a reason to panic about it. One of the things this week that has been super beneficial to not having a breakdown this week has been the ability to hangout with friends and take a little bit of a break each day. This is something that I mentioned in my Learning Challenge blog post, but it is something that I have learned makes such a difference from week to week.
I'm excited to see what the next weeks of the semester will hold and what is going to pan out as we move through the rest of the semester not only in this class and in my others, but also in things that aren't school related.
That is so awesome that you got to go to such a great (in an edge-of-the-seat kind of way) game! I know that I never get anything done when I am at home which also leads me to feel very stressed that following week. It's funny that you mentioned hanging out with friends little by little because I have been trying to do the same lately. I moved into a new place and no longer live with my 2 best friends and so this week I began making it a priority to visit them so I don't stray away from such a great friendship. Plus, it helps so much during stressful times! Much better than sitting in your room alone and trying to relax but really just worrying.
