A flower or two
Hello, dear readers. It looks like a whole week flew by before I could even wrap my head around it. After I finished all of my coursework, I got some much needed rest, and then my sweetheart arrived last Sunday.

Since then, it’s been a whirlwind, as we each have some work to do and many wonderful friends to see before we move to Georgia in just over a week!

How to fall asleep
If you’re reading this post, I’m guessing you already have a little experience with the whole sleeping thing.
You probably also know from experience that insomnia is the worst. For me, it’s hardest to fall asleep during stressful times and exciting times, and always, always, at the end of each semester.

In the meantime
I’ve got all kinds of ideas simmering for some more in-depth posts, but I think they’ll have to wait until after I finish writing another paper. Wish me luck.
In the meantime, wouldn’t you like to see a few more warm-weather pretty things? I don’t know about you, but I’m still dreaming (wistfully) of summer. It’s cold here in Boston.

Speaking of Atlanta...
When I gave my closet a makeover back in February, I forgot to account for the balmy climate in my future habitat. I have no idea what I’m going to wear when I move to this lovely city in just a few weeks. Apparently, it’s already 90 degrees there?!
Having lived in Boston for college and grad school, I’ve managed to accumulate a significant collection of black dresses, warm...

Sweet and simple pick-me-ups
Can you believe it’s May already? Exactly one month from now, I’ll be moving to Atlanta!
In the meantime, I have about a million things to do, such as writing some very long final papers, packing up everything I own, and graduating from grad school. I’m excited for all of the upcoming transitions, but sometimes it’s hard not to get stressed out when everything’s...
