The CK Daily – Counting down!
Good morning!
I started this weekend by making my way back to Athens, unpacking, and getting all set up for the week. It felt like a slow weekend since Saturday was spent doing chores like cleaning, meal-prepping, and planning. That didn’t last long because once I got my planner set up, it was right back into computer-based work. I soaked up the sunshine last week as much as I could, so looking at a computer was tough to go back to.
Most of my time has been spent working through assignments, readings, and applications for the upcoming year. It has been a very different change of pace from Spring Break, and I’m truly missing the wonderful time I spent with family and friends. Thankfully, there are some big things to look forward to coming soon that will help remind me that it’s worth every step. The first are a few friends’ birthdays and officially beginning the countdown to UGA Miracle’s Dance Marathon. I’ve talked about it plenty, but we are 9 days away which means a few extra meetings and a lot of preparation. I’ve been really leaning on my prioritization skills and Alex, while we both focus on getting ahead as much as we can. The excitement for the biggest event of the year has absolutely built, and I can’t wait to see all our hard work come together.
For myself, I’m hoping for another productive weekend ahead, but I hope you’re able to have a nice, relaxing one. Have a great Thursday!!
