Even when you're not having fun. As long as you have massive amounts of work to do, those deadlines just all of a sudden... WHAM! are in the next two days.

Not that I'm not interested with what I'm doing. I've got a project on how international tourism affects world peace. I know a lot more than I thought I ever could about financial stuff. I am helping to plan the ribbon cutting ceremony for Temple's new building, Alter Hall. My homework has been to interview industry professionals, go to professional organization meetings, start a Google AdWords campaign for a local business, and talk about how great a destination Philadelphia is (which I firmly believe)

There's just a lot of it to do. So I've gotten pretty good at procrastinating, too. A friend and I went to Long Beach Island one Tuesday night, just to get out of Philadelphia. Nothing was open, but there is something lovely about a beach in the winter on a clear night, punctuated by all those stars you miss out on when you're in the city. My sister talked me into standing in line for far too long to meet Kate, from 'Jon and Kate plus 8' (Yes, I know. Judge all you want.). And I baked a ton of cookies and sent some to my friends in Spain, where I spent the fall (and where, by the way, classes were not nearly as hard).

But it's fun. It's interesting. My teachers are so passionate, which really helps. Annndd spring break is in a week and I'm going to Puerto Rico. :)
