Now it seems I only post pictures on this poor neglected blog. You know, neglected blog is kind of a tongue twister if you say it fast a bazillion times in a row. It’s not so fun to type either! Sheesh!

-Tongue= twisted. Actually, I mostly posted this to see if I could post magical moving pictures (aka gifs) to this site. And again we are back to only pictures… d’oh!-
But honestly, life has been really overwhelming here in Emily Land. Internships and college clubs and sports and planning for Teach For America and training for the half marathon and finding out everything I want and need to do is all happening on the same day and nationals coming up which means flying to Utah and doing all the SORF stuff and a 15 page paper to write on top of a senior project and ANOTHER paper and trying to blog and have a social life and Easter and College Illinois messing up my tuition payments and birth control prescriptions and working at the library not to mention webinars and praxis exams and trying not to go insane…
I think it might be time for a favorite things break. You know, a time for me to reflect on the reasons why it’s good to be alive so I feel like I have the strength to tackle my ever-growing to-do list!

Ok, it’s actually my bed time! But I tried to write a real blog post! I suppose the take-away message here is that no matter how overwhelming it can be when life seems to pile EVERYTHING ON YOU ALL AT ONCE, you will sift through everything as deadlines approach. It might feel like too much, but once the pressure’s on I know I always end up rising to the challenge, accomplishing more than I ever thought I could! Kind of like the time I didn’t think I could eat like, 5 pounds of cookie dough and melted chocolate chips, BUT I TOTALLY rose to the occasion!! We can do it everybody!
