I am very glad for the start of the new week for a lot of reasons. Tomorrow is Monday and once I get past it, I will have 2 quizzes down, 1 paper down and a much slower rest of the week (hopefully). Plus in my literature and media class, we get to watch Eat Pray Love, which I haven't seen yet. AND, then I get to go out to dinner with friends for Valentine's Day.

In addition, and probably the bigger reason, is because I have been down for no reason and I feel as though a fresh start will be good and that's what Monday will be.

Time with my mom today was great and very much needed. I was glad to hear that my sister did so well in her mock trial event and to see pictures from her birthday party this weekend. Plus, my mom got to see some of my paintings. Speaking of, I'm excited to start some new ones. I have a few sketches I want to get out; they're starting to keep me up at night so I need to prime my canvas and get to it. If they turn out well, I'll post some pictures. (Although I say I'll put pictures up a lot and it never seems to happen. I'll try to make it and exception to the norm)
