Genki desu.

It's been quite a lengthy weekend! I've been struggling to do any studying for the past few days as my schedule has been uncharacteristically busy for me. I've followed through, however! I started a new core lesson yesterday, and split it between last night and tonight. I did this because there was a LOT of new information covered and I felt that I would not retain any of it past where I stopped last night. I've rarely felt my brain become "full" before! My hectic schedule this weekend has left me rather mentally exhausted anyways, and I'm sure that contributed to my inability to finish last night. I followed through with no problems tonight, however.
