Famous Last Words: Week 5

This week was more difficult for me to accomplish the tasks necessary to finish my week. All of my classes suffered this week because I was sick for three days! I did not even get to finish my storytelling post because I could barely get out of bed on that day. I missed three days of work and three days of school. For a college student, we know this is very bad news.

However, I felt much better on Friday and I was able to go home for the weekend! I got to visit my family as well as see my boyfriend’s family, which really lifted my spirits after practically being a shut-in all week. On Sunday, I was able to attend a music festival in Denton, Texas, called Oaktopia where my friends and I got to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes play! It was so fun! There were vendors selling various things, food everywhere, and music performances on several different stages throughout the main square of the local Texas town. My friend’s dad directed and organized the entire festival, so he was able to score us some sweet VIP passes where we could hang out with some of the bands! It truly was a night to remember and it was totally worth going to and not getting back to Norman until two in the morning.

So even though I was sick this week, I got to experience a lot of fun! Now, for the upcoming weeks, I have to play catch up in school and I need to somehow make up my hours at work. IN addition to that, I also have some very ominous midterms looming over my head and I have some job interviews lined up. Eeeep! I know I can get through these upcoming weeks! I just want to experience the joy in every situation while going through these difficult, busy times in my life!
