Need to Digest.

To the left is a picture of a strawberry nutella shortcake Mae Mae and I made for breakfast saturday morning. Well I made that particular one in the picture though. ahahhaa. It's pretty, huh? =D

Don't I know it.. more like I can feel it. This week is going to be yet another exhausting week.. as I have 3 midterms, 8am/9am classes, and HELL WEEK starting for GRV (for those of you who aren't dancers, this means 7-3am practices everyday for about two weeks).

The week after that is still hell week because our competition is that saturday. That week also happens to be my spring break. =( But at least I get more sleep.. better to have these midterms now rather than the week before the competition. At least this way I can perform better.

I'm getting the hang of this sponsor gathering thing.. I've got one company willing to offer me quite a bit just to promote and perform for them.

Should I start drinking coffee? How else am I gonna wake up! Slapping myself and driving with the windows open isn't working! aha.

My inner calling for quality family time is getting louder and louder. I miss everyone and have been so busy with work, dance, singing, and school to make time for them. I know that in the future it's worth it, but you only get to make these kind of memories with your kin once.  I'm hoping to make some changes this year to try and spend as much time bonding with my family as possible, whether it just be dinner/lunch with them on weekends to going on vacations.

Most of my days last from 8am to 3am, so I think that inner longing for family is a sign that I need to slow down a bit. I have this problem of thinking that I'm superwoman and that I can go after every opportunity that comes my way at full force.  It's good to be hungry, but I'm starting to feel that spiritual, mental, and physical stomach ache.. if you get what I mean.  I need time to digest.

I broke my lent today. We had leftover donuts from yesterday. I didn't want to waste them. I'm so sorry, Jesus. But I promise to make it up on sunday. I won't eat meat OR fried things. 

Keep me in your prayers, I know I need as much as I can.

Stay Strong,
