Friday Finisher 9/9/16

Published: Sep 9, 2016 · Modified: Oct 31, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Hello there! We are finished with one of the longest weeks of my life! It's only been a week and I feel like I've been living at school for at least a month or two! I don't even know where to start! I have 5 classes this semester so there is zero downtime. Two of which are super long 3-hour classes, but only once a week. You'd think there would be tons of sitting, but the amount of walking/running around the campuses and taking buses I do makes up for it tenfold! Pretty sure I have shin splints 😛 Here's the one "perk", NO Friday classes! That does not mean I have a free day, though! So much to do, meetings, work, studying, hopefully, I can continue to fit in pockets of blogging time! But I am exhausted! Once everything settles down and the semester goes on, I think it will be..."manageable" 😛

So here's to a Friday Finisher that I STIL was able to put together for you this week! (Sans the Friday Finisher "Tweet Blasts" I usually send out...sorry...no time!) Have a great Septemeber weekend and enjoy the (still actually summer) season while you can! See you back here tomorrow for a quick post!!

    I'm so jealous of your free (well, "free") Fridays! I never had that when I was in college except for a 6-week summer session in the summer of 2009. *-* I hope you'll be able to continue blogging too--it should get better after things kinda wind down! :]

    Love the "19 things to do for your blog when you don't feel like doing anything" post, haha. I've been feeling that more and more lately. So tired!!

      I think I've always managed to have Fridays off! But this year it just feels...really necessary! #greatful!
      I'm sure one I find the new flow and routine, all will be much..."better" 😉
      Haha yes!!! I always want to do something, but the easier and more mundane the better right now!

    Oh that Everything Bagel Salmon looks so delicious! And I'm sorry you had a tough week, take some time to relax and recharge this weekend. The toughest class I took in college was a Philosophy of Science class, or something like that, I barely remember. It was only super hard because I didn't understand anything I was reading and it was an online class. So glad that's over 😉

    Yay for pumpkin PB 😉 I actually loved my schedule when I had the 3-hour class once a week. We typically got out at least 30 minutes early too. Anything for no Friday's!
