Good morning,

I guess I've inherited one of my mom's genes: the inability to sleep in like any average college student. Then again, also unlike any other college student, I didn't "go out" last night, but rather, enjoyed a night of zumba-ing and Skyping with my boyfriend in my pajamas. I much prefer this to any beer-drenched, sweaty, gropy Frat house anyway. I almost might go so far as to say that I'm not a huge fan of weekends on campus; everyone parties late and sleeps all day. I'd much rather get some schoolwork done. Dull? Maybe.

Moving on: it's sunny today, finally - the past two days have been rainy, which in high school would not have bothered me in the least, but college is a different story. 

Today, my aim to "keep calm" is simply going to be this: I plan on getting shit done. 

My to-do list consists of the following:

- Make my way over to the Conwell building so that I can try and get myself on that work-study list, because apparently work-study students are the only students on campus who need jobs.

- Sit in the library for a good amount of time (i.e., however long my attention holds) and get an early start on my research project for Dissent in America. I'm thinking of writing about the Democratic National Convention in the 60's.

- Go to that really helpful a2b class at the gym (a2b = "abs 2 back"). 

In the meantime, I'll keep scouting around for interesting ways to relax. I'll check in at the end of the day. Please stop by again!

Keep calm.

Sarah
