Gloooomy, gloomy days.

What I've noticed: Most people are stressed. Many are burned out. Many people haven't slept well due to looming assignments, papers, projects, etc. Almost everyone has just about had it. Its interesting how the weather - rainy, cloudy, dismal, and gray - is mirroring the general mood around campus these days. And I definitely don't think its helping.

I know for me, personally, this is the easiest semester (academic-wise) I've had for my college career, so for that I'm very thankful. Doesn't make me any less busy though, but I'm definitely not wanting to pull my hair out like in past semesters. There are just as many things going on in my life that make me feel like a big raincloud sometimes. Stress about the future, impending graduation which is way sooner than later and approaching rapidly, personal life stressors, and completing everything are just a few things bogging me down.

According to my extended forecast, the sun will shine on Friday. So, in the words of Rebecca Black (I had to) lets all look forward to that day. When the sun shines. Friday, Friday, Friday. Gettin' down on Friday.

Or, metaphorically, lets look forward to the "Friday" in our lives when things aren't so stressful. When the work load settles - temporarily, but settles - and we can breathe. I'm excited for the sun to shine. How about you? :)
