Magical Monday

I didn't have class today, so it doesn't really feel like a Monday to me, but I guess finals week will do that to you. I've spent most of the day finishing a paper that's due tomorrow and making a study guide, since my only two finals are tomorrow.

The list:

1. Being productive. This morning I got up about 8 (an hour before my alarm!), which was surprising since I had gone to bed a little later than normal because I was working on my history paper. I ran 2 miles and then spent most of the day finishing my paper. And then I made a nice study guide for my history final. I'm now taking a quick blogging break before going over my notes and guide. I was really proud of myself, because normally it takes a lot more effort for me to stay on-task.

2. 100%. My partner and I got 100% on our presentation portion of our project, which is super exciting. Now we just need to do well on the written portion!

3. Good partners. Going along the same lines, having a good partner. Group work is something a lot of people dread. But I think it really depends on who you're with. My partner and I are always on the same page, which is great. And my other group project is working out well this semester too.

4. Donuts. I've probably said this before, but I love donuts. Yesterday, my friends and I went to our favorite donut place near campus one last time.

5. Mental health breaks. They're key to ensuring that I don't go insane when spending all day working on homework. And it sounds so much nicer to say that than to say "going on Pinterest" or something like that. But really, they're necessary to let your mind relax a little bit, so that you can get new ideas flowing.

I'm really good at justifying procrastination. Don't worry, I always get everything with plenty of time left.

Also, I love how you can tell it's finals week because these are pretty much all about school.
