Wednesday Ramblings

-Yesterday, I sat out on a lounge chair outside my apartment for a journal sesh. It was 60 degrees and sunny and life literally doesn't get much better than that--except for the fact that I should have been studying for today's midterm.

-Spring Break is happening in TWO DAYS (not including today). I AM SO STINKING HAPPY! I am more than ready for the break, yet also very sad that the semester is essentially half way over. I will be going home and spending time with my family and Roanoke friends before heading off to Hilton Head with some of my Chi O sisters! I could not be more excited.

-My Digital Media massive midterm essay was due at 11:55 on Monday night. Being the extreme procrastinator that I am, you better believe that I waited until Monday morning to start on it. I don't really know why I do that to myself...I was basically having an anxiety attack all day. And when I finally started the third part at 10:40, I thought for sure that I wouldn't finish. Apparently I work really well under pressure or just have some weird love for the thrill of working up until the deadline...I'm not really sure. But I did find out that there is an actual condition that makes people clinical procrastinators, much like how people have clinical depression. Over spring break I might actually go see a psychologist about it. I just can't stress myself out like that anymore.

-Fun fact: One of the eye shadow colors I use is called "Between the Sheets." I'd have to say that's probably the single most scandalous aspect of my life. Thanks, Victoria's Secret.

-So here's the deal: this year, I have been given a lot of crap for my *joking* tweets about my pursuit of an MRS Degree. I just want to say that I am all for getting a legitimate degree and having an amazing career. In fact, I hope to have the opportunity to work and do extremely well in a field that I love. HOWEVER, I do feel that, God willing, I will want to be a stay at home mom once I have children. I just feel really passionate about putting aside my career goals (unless I am writing a book at that point...which is somewhat feasible...I think that kinda just happens in free time) in order to raise my children and serve my husband by keeping things in order at home. At this point, I'm also thinking that I will homeschool my kids. My mom and I already have an agreement that she will be their math teacher. All that said, I do realize that there is a long time before any of this even matters. However, I just wanted to say that when I tweet or joke about getting an MRS Degree, I'm not using it in an anti-feminist, derogatory way. I just think that there are women who are called to be wives and mothers and they should not be looked down upon for that.

And now I should probably go study for my midterm that's in three hours...yeah...the one I haven't really studied for...

PB&J, friends
