This weekend, I was lucky enough to get a chance to head home for the Saint Mike's long weekend, something I definitely needed. It had been over two months since I last saw home, and all the sights and activities that accompanied it. To make things better, my younger brother, who has just started his first year at college, was also able to make it home for the weekend, though he had to leave Sunday evening to get back to school.
It was nice to be able to take a break from schoolwork, and focus on rejuvenating, something I struggle to find time for during school. A highlight was definitely getting to see my cats, and it was almost therapeutic. Lying down on the couch, with my cat Tuffy curled up on my chest, was a very calming experience, and lead overall to a calming weekend. I was able to take time to reflect on my position at school and in life, and what I could improve on upon returning to Saint Michael's in a few short days. I realized it is important to take time for myself, and though I enjoy being active, to not spread myself too thin. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet, but I know I will attempt to lighten my load in regards to commitments, so that I can stay sane throughout the semester.
