My last semester of graduate school has started. I’m already overwhelmed with the amount of work I have coming up. I know, I know–one of my goals this year was to stay positive and beat anxiety, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get a little stressed out at times. Fifteen weeks. That’s all I have left. Sometimes, when I begin to feel really stressed out, I’ll look at a picture (like this one) and feel a whole lot better. I mean, who wouldn’t be calmed by this pic? I took it this past December in Ft. Myers. At least the next time I go to Ft. Myers, I’ll have my MA. Until then, I’ll picture myself on a hammock with this scene in mind.
