A Break but not Really

Today is the last day of school for the semester. I couldn't be more pumped about this. Union does this awesome thing called J-Term which means for people like me who don't take a class in January, we have a break for almost 2 months before the Spring semester begins. I will be really be getting a break because I will still be interning and I will still be working, but I won't have school to drive to or classes to sit through for 6 hours on Mondays. I have mentally been making a list of things that I want to accomplish starting tomorrow and I thought that I would share this list with everyone.

These items are in no particular order.

1. Read books
2. Try P90x. A friend of ours has downloaded the program.
3. Go to zumba more than twice a week...maybe. I can at least change my days to Monday and Thursday because those are the harder classes to attend.
4. Clean out every room in my house. You know-dust those places that have never been dusted. Clean that area in the bathroom that you always conveniently forget to do.
5. See my family more.
6. Watch movies.
7. Get caught up on work.
8. Paint the bathroom
9. Donate unwanted items to Goodwill.
10. Sleep.
11. Work on training my puppy. She's actually doing very well.
12. Cook some new food items.
13. Try not to cook so many things from a package.

These are things that have been on my to do list for a while, but now I will actually have the time to do them. Every time I have started on one of these activities, I feel guilty because I know that I have school things to work on.

For example, I think my bathroom has been taped and ready to be painted for at least a month now if not longer. It's sad when you think that the blue painter's tape is part of the decor.
