Riding camels in Morocco

My senior project paper is due in two weeks as well as a presentation that goes along with that paper. I am sitting in SLO DO CO thinking about my research and watching a dad who just walked in with three little ones in pajamas. Four year old's need late snacks too, I guess. Daddy might need it even more. I am so ready to be done with school and begin my next adventure so naturally, studying has been a challenge. When life is stressful and school is hard I often try and take a step back and think, "What are you looking forward to Whit?" My mom is good at asking me this question. So, tonight, I ask myself that question. What am I looking forward to? 

Riding camels in Morocco. 

So, if Katie and I both end up in Spain, naturally we have to visit each other. Top on the to do list? Riding camels in Morocco. It's funny though, as I sit here and watch this dad squeeze frosting on an already frosted doughnut, I can't help but smile. Because watching dads give their kids more sugar, dreaming about riding camels in Morocco, giggling with Katie, and eating doughnuts. These are what make the stressful times some of the best times. I need to continue to cherish the rest of this year though because before I know it, it's going to be gone. Four years done, just like that. 

As I continue to procrastinate on my senior project paper for just another minute, let me ask you this? What are you looking forward to? Spring break? Summer? Your econ midterm? (Well, I don't know, my roommate's an econ major and she likes it!), But really maybe you have been studying for a test for weeks and you are actually excited because you know you're going pulverize it! And that's great. My point is when we give ourselves something positive to combat the negative, it really can make our days a whole lot better. 

Alright, that's all for now. I'm going to eat a doughnut and work on my paper. And it's really not going to be so bad because I'm writing about something I'm passionate about!
