feel better!

i have just completed my final final.
and i choose to share that moment here: YIPPEE!

as i was filling up on caffeine today before my last two exams, i noticed a pamphlet sitting on the corner of the bar.
the bar of the coffeehouse.
its title was: 6 practical ways to feel better. TODAY.

seeing how i was looking for anything to distract me from the heavy books in my bag and notes in my hand, i picked it up and leafed through it.
here is my response to the 6 practical ways:

1. join a yoga class. (i cant. there are none within a 15 mile radius of college. too bad.)
2. read a book. (i did. four of them actually. and now i am utterly obsessed with vampires.)
3. listen to music. (i have been! lots and lots of mariah carey christmas music.)
4. find the funny. (not hard. the tiniest things amuse me. since it was raining buckets today and i was wearing slick shoes, i almost fell three different times. i smiled each time i almost ate it.)
5. be realistic. (easier said than done. part of my mind realizes the impractical things i do everyday for no apparent reason and yet it never speaks up.)
6. be your own health expert. (good one. realizing that caffeine, mixed with 6 hours of sleep, on top of wedding details and 5 exams, is not the best way to spend my last week in California.)

wasnt that a lovely list? i feel better already.
that might have to do with the shock of actually finishing all 5 of my exams.
i am off to pack for childhood friend's wedding and then home...
it is bound to be a flurry of activity.
and i cannot wait for it~

here's to many more sleepless night!

Congrats on finishing... it's a great feeling, right? I just noticed how you titled my blog on your page: "Lauren on all things New York". I kind of loved it and it made me smile. Have a great Christmas!
