Okay so this week I have a 2 mid-term exams. One is tomorrow and one is Thursday. Unfortunately I have YET to study for the exam tomorrow. I'm really struggling to focus right now and every time I sit down to start studying I go to do something else (like decide to blog). I think part of the reason why I can't focus right now is because I am so excited to get to go home at the end of the week. I have not seen my family in over 6 weeks, and Thursday can't come soon enough.
So here I sit..note cards all around me waiting to be studied..books in front of me waiting to be read..and documents on my computer waiting to be filled out. Yet I can't stop thinking about things I need to remember to pack for when I go home and things I need to bring back to school with me when I come back to good ol' Omaha.
Being away from my family for so long has really made me appreciate them so much more. I realize how blessed I am to have such a supportive family while pursuing a doctorate degree.
When I am home for fall break, I am going to take in as much time as possible with my family, let them know I love them and appreciate them. Thinking of them is what is going to get me through the next 3 1/2 years of school. It may be tough being down here by myself without the feeling of love and security I get from being with my family, but I believe with the support and love from them I can do this.
Please enjoy the song posted below. I listen to it regularly when I'm feeling alone, when I'm stressed about school and other life issues, and when I when I'm missing my family.
