I calculated how many hours since this past Sunday I had either been doing homework, spending time in class, or working and it confirmed just how long of a week it was. Over 75 hours in 6 days. Needless to say, there was a reason I didn’t blog as much last week. One more week of class left and then life slows down a bit.
Rose has been gone for over 2 weeks now, I’ll be glad when she gets back, for sure.
