One Week Later

Well, I suppose it has technically been about one week and two days now since I have been back from Atlanta. People might be thinking that I have spent this time running around, hanging out with everyone I know, and causing a general ruckus throughout the beautiful city of Eugene. However, not to disappoint, but I have mostly just spent it getting my house organized.

Usually when I go on one of my summer adventures, I come back just in the knick of time to take a quick week trip back home to California to visit my family and then immediately start school. It isn't the most ideal situation, as I spend the next three weeks of fall term a mess, trying to get my house cleaned up and organized and ready for the term that has already started.

Therefore, this summer, coming back early, I find myself in an odd state of cleaning heaven. In fact, I don't think that my house has ever been this clean and organized since I moved in. I am a firm believer in the concept that the cleanliness of my house is directly proportional to the mental clarity of my brain. Come finals week when I find myself with little time to tidy up, it just makes sense, since my mind is already a little cluttered with stress. Having this time to actually get my house all squared away before school is amazing and offers me with endless potential to start the school year!

Ok, I realize that this may possibly be the dorkiest and most over the top blog ever, but it is such a big difference for me. I have decided that as I plan into the future, I must keep in mind to leave myself plenty of time to wind down if at all possible.

With my place just how I want it to start the school year, I am ready to head home to California to spend a few weeks with my family. It is nice to have more time to go home and relax as well instead of having to make a long weekend trip. I will be prepared when I return for what seems to be looking like a pretty swell fall term 2010!
