Once Upon a Time,


there was a girl, who at 5:38 am on the morning she was going home for the holidays had not yet come close to being finished packing. As she looked at the garbage bag along with a suitcase and duffle bag full of clothes with despair, she decided a blog post would be a smashing idea.
After all, sleep deprivation had been a sort of routine lately.
However, as she lay in her bed with her ears ringing, she realized that she was, in fact, tired. And rightfully so. Finals had been a rough 2 weeks, and sleep had been hard to come by. Luckily, caffeine and other things had NOT.
And so, on her 20th birthday which also happened to be the day of her last final, AND a day in which she stayed in the library until 6am, she decided that she needed a freaking break.
With the birthday activities relatively low-key due to finals etc, she went shopping, had a drink or two, and simply hung out with her friends.
One friend, brought over The Desperate Housewives all 4 seasons on DVD. And since the girl had only JUST started watching the show this season, catching up was a must. And so began 2 lovely days of sleeping and sitting around watching the wives, with not a care in the world as to which chapters to read or papers to write or making sure to be on time for class.
And it was glorious.

She also got her nails done and had an awkward encounter at the nail salon, but that is a story for another day.
And tonight (er rather, last night?) she went dancing with her friends. And didn't have to ward of any skeezy guys or worry about waking up with a hangover when her father picked her up (again).
And it was glorious.
She should, however, started packing a long time ago.....
