I spent all morning sick to my stomach with nerves because I had a huge presentation. I think it went well, though, which is good. I've also been reading my book all day, and I'm going to read more after this update. This afternoon was not great. My family lost someone today, and it has been really hard on my mom. I saw her for a little while today, and I'm spending tomorrow night with her, but today has been hard. I'm hoping to get some good time with her before she leaves on Saturday.

Today was a mixed day. Bad dreams, homework stress, and the fact that my mom leaves tomorrow made the first 2/3rds of the day not amazing. However, my mom and I spent the whole evening together which was a lot of fun! We packed, got Taco Bell for dinner, and watched a movie. I'm helping her move tomorrow, and then this weekend will be super busy with midterms, plans, and events. I'm excited and hoping to do some more activities this weekend. I have also been reading more which feels great!

Today was a rough day. This morning I helped my mom move out of her apartment. I'm excited for her next journey, but will of course miss her. Then right after helping her I had to come home, eat, and go to class which was stressful. I didn't do any homework today, and after I got home, Riley and I just relaxed. We watched our show and spent time relaxing together which was nice. Riley is taking a shower now then we are going to watch a movie. I find myself fighting feeling bad about relaxing during this project. I feel as if I need to be constantly doing things or I'm wasting time. I think, though, that taking time to relax is still beneficial, and I'm doing it with someone rather than with my phone.
