Summer Countdown

Coming back to school after spring break is a strange time. I feel like I have been gone forever, but it's also like I never left. After being surrounded by amazing friends and family, doing nothing but eating, laughing, and enjoying my incredible hometown, being put back in the atmosphere of classes and studying is a bitter transition. Not that I didn't miss all of my friends at school (swapping stories of our breaks was a highlight of my day today), but it's just a weird feeling to be back after such a free-spirited and carefree ten days. These next five weeks are going to be rough. I will have to force myself to focus on my classes and to actually care how I do in them. When I know I have such an amazing summer ahead of me, focusing on the schoolwork ahead of me is daunting. My spring break was filled of Lakers games and Las Vegas, sunny California skies and the love of my family and boyfriend. To know that all of that and much more lays ahead of me in only five weeks makes it so hard to focus. The countdown has officially begun.
