Ya'll, I am so excited to announce that there has been a new addition to the family. Please welcome my sweet feline child- Amaya! Amaya, which means "nighttime rain" in Japanese, (apparently, I guess I wouldn't know if I was wrong) was born August 14th to a cat of a family friend. I have gotten to see this sweet baby grow since the day she was born, and I was just over the moon last Tuesday when I finally got to meet her for myself. Amaya's favorite things to do are play with her BB-8 toy and chomp on her mom's hair. When she gets tired, she usually passes out on my lap to restore energy to go on a kitten-insanity rampage around my room again. When she attacks her toys, she makes odd chirps that I like to call her "Pokemon noises" because there really is no better way to describe the weird sounds she can do. It honestly gets creepy at night when I hear her preparing to pounce on my feet and do her little alien scream, but she's so cute...

Post Irma, classes have been crazy. After having a week blown right off the schedule, professors have been cramming double coursework into every nook and cranny that they can... I've had between 4-7 assignments due a night, a quiz, essay, or exam in at least one class every day. It has not been fun. I am very stressed. I think I need some Insomnia Cookies. (Surely there is no problem that cookies can't fix, right?) Despite barely having a minute to breathe, I've made time to at least take some care of myself. Now those of you who have had the delight of being around me at all since I've been here in Florida know that I swear up and down by yoga. Yeah I know, just like every other millennial who is obsessed with tea, avocado toast, and cat cafes, I'm into yoga. But I wanted to share a video that I really think may help some of my fellow stressed college students. I'm totally in love with this girl and all of her yoga videos, she is so positive and supportiv...
