Reminding myself of this lately...

Priorities

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."

Relaxation by the Page Numbers

Being a college student is stressful.  Being a commuter-college-student-with-a-part-time-job who has to fulfill credit requirements for major number three is exhausting.  Last night, I had a nightmare that I showed up to work ten minutes late, and it was unreasonably horrifying.  Despite the fact that I work really hard to get eight hours of sleep a night, I still wake up every morning feeling like I slept for eight minutes.  Thankfully, I have a de-stressing system that helps me power down before bed.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a list of library books I had on reserve.  There's still one book that I'm waiting on (116 other people to go!), but I've gotten through a lot of books since then.  I spend 30-45 minutes reading every night.  I'm not very good at starting new habits, so this is one that I'm very proud of.  Since school started, I've read the following:

1. Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

2. One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson

3. State of Wonder by Ann Patchett (just meh)

I'm now working on Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson, the third book in the Jackson Brodie series.  I love these books.  I'm a sucker for mysteries, and these stories aren't the least bit predictable but are also believable.  No deus ex machina alien abductions or dream sequences.  I highly reccommend them!

Read any good books lately?
