Is it summer yet?

So all of this week I have been completely booked 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and that's not including homework. That is strictly classes work, group project meetings and FYE training. It has definitely taken its toll on me. Being tired and stressed out has made me really just want to eat cookie dough out of the package and then top that off with some cheetos. And then my preferred method of getting extra energy (as opposed to taking a brisk walk or a 20-minute power nap), drinking the soda with the most sugar and caffeine I can find.

Last night I ate an ice cream cookie sandwich at my FYE training, then decided to go to Oregano's at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. There we had deep dish pizza, wings (which I actually refrained from), and pizookie. At the end of the night Steve and I both realized that we couldn't keep doing this. We should probably start eating more than one meal a day and maybe even get a vegetable in every once in a while. Although, considering "Reading (hell) week" is only half over, it will take some extra willpower.

I got the chance to meet some of the other FYE peer mentors last night. Because the rest of them are all ASNAU members, Resident Assistants, Orientation leaders and Greek, they all seemed to know each other. They were all very nice, but I felt a little out of place. I haven't been an involved student in quite a while so it is a big change for me, hopefully one I can handle. In any case, it will be fun to meet some new people.

The countdown to move is on (10 more days)! We have so much to do and very little time to do it. I'm really looking forward to going down to Phoenix this weekend and forgetting everything that is hanging over my head. That, and that I'm just so darned excited for Allison's birthday!
