It's been far too long since I sat down and wrote out a post. Honestly, in the past 10-or-so days, I have hardly had time to shower, let alone reflect on the day. I hit the ground running in my student teaching on Monday, and I have been whirlwind busy all week! This weekend, when I gave myself a day off from everything, was the first time it felt like my feet have touched the ground all week!
I have to say, I am loving it!
Here are some highlights:
1) A weekend home for Seder and some good family time. I'm happy to report that it was almost anxiety free, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I was sad to come back, but excited too because I started taking over classes on Monday.

| Deeeelicious Vegan Matzo Ball soup that Mom made specially for me. Even the carnivores were impressed! |

Yes, I am crazy busy, and with my 4 preps, I have very little free time, but I feel like I am thriving. I am even more convinced now that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing.
So far, I have been able to keep a healthy balance and found enough time to maintain eating in the way that makes me feel my best and work out on days that allowed for it. My hyper-organization and time management have been a god send, and I know that if I keep on top of things, I will be able to keep this momentum going.
Next week, I am picking up another prep, and although I was feeling overwhelmed earlier in the experience, I am ready to take it head on!

I've even had some time this weekend for some time out with good friends, and a lazy movie night!
Here's to conquering next week!
