Well, bloggers, it's that time again. That dreadful week of sweats, coffee, and more math than I've ever wanted to cram into seven days. Finals week. Luckily, I have but three finals, and one of them I'm not even counting because I'm cocky and not worried at all. It will probably come back to bite me later, but this is something I'm willing to accept. Unluckily, I'm pretty sure I have tonsillitis, so studying is that absolute last thing on my to do list, hence me blogging instead of studying.
In honor of avoiding my finals prep, I've compiled a list of the ridiculously exciting things I'm doing instead.
1. Blogging.
This is a given since I'm writing this blog, but still. I'm not only writing this blog, I have been perusing blogs as well. I'm trying to find a link-up I really like so that I can blog at the very least once a week, even when school begins next semester!
2. Rockin' my hips to the blues.
If I learned anything from Grey's Anatomy other than doctors are whores, it's that when you're down, dancing it out is the best thing you can do if you don't cry. The stress of school is bogging me down, what do I do? I crank up one of the best forms of music ever and get to moving. I can't actually dance at all, but it feels good! If you don't do this, do it. I promise it's surprisingly effective.
3. Baking.
We all know how I am about baking. I just cannot help it. I love it. The other day, I made cream cheese cookies. It was my first time tweaking a recipe a bit, and I have to say they didn't turn out horribly! They weren't as sweet as I'd like, but I'm pretty sure that's just the result of the cookie and my intense sweet tooth. I've been all over blogs and pinterest, compiling a list of recipes and desserts I want to try! I'll be posting about them because that's what I do. Maybe I'll start a list of recipes I've tried?
4. Reading.
I've been holding off on the reading because I know once I start, it'll be bye bye studying for finals and hello literature. I keep telling myself, just one more week, just one more week! Then, I have about eight or so books to borrow from the boyfriend and I will crawl into seclusion and bask in the glory of my book adventures. It will be heavenly.
5. Pinterest.
I cannot get off of this thing. It is so wonderful. It's an addiction. I'm on here more than I'm on facebook, which lately, I haven't been on facebook all that often. If you have pinterest, link me so I can follow you!
6. The Nutcracker Ballet.
Tonight, Eli is taking me to see The Nutcracker Ballet. It's just the one here in town because he had to work last night so we didn't get to go to Memphis to see it. I am absolutely in love with The Nutcracker. It's definitely one of my all time favorite ballets. When I was eight, my school took a trip to see it in Memphis(where I lived at the time) and I was entranced. Ever since, Tchaikovsky has been my favorite composer. I love his ballets and his fantasias after Shakespeare. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. So is my boyfriend for taking me to see a ballet which is arguably very unmanly. ;D

Those all sound like wonderful alternatives to studying - and definitely more fun.
I pretty much do everything on this list! I love Greys! It is definitely where I get dancing it out from :)
