Friday Finisher 10/4/13

Happy Friday! This week actually went by pretty quickly; always a good thing. The weather was even okay! Sunny and not -20 degrees. It got up to the high 70s, low 80s in the middle of the week. Yay! They are showing the same good temps for the weekend and no rain as of now. I am hoping that will hold true for the festival on Sunday! Besides the SAT II on Saturday and the festival on Sunday, I have tons of schoolwork and college stuff to get done this weekend…ugh. But once I sit down and check these things off the list I feel so much better and more motivated to get the other things done. A domino effect if you will. My mom and I plan to sit down and really sort out the college stuff though because I am feeling really overwhelmed about it all. I need to make sure I am on track with the deadlines and papers, essays, applications, etc. But before that fun starts, let’s enjoy the Friday Finisher!
