Good for you, on all counts.
You know what I do at the end of each semester I make it through? I buy myself a present. Last year, as a present for surviving summer school -- 8 semester units, including five units of math -- I bought myself a new sewing machine. It's very fancy, with about a gazillion built in stitches, and it sews sideways. All the dials go to ELEVEN! (Which is a joke only someone my age will get, it seems...) Then, to celebrate surviving the fall semester, I had some work done on my face -- laser treatment to get rid of the capillaries on my nose, so Santa won't keep asking me to guide his sleigh all the time. I mention this because I thought it might help you, too. Probably not the laser work, nor the sewing machine, but maybe new boots, or some art, or tickets to a play. Something that appeals to you, that you maybe wouldn't think of buying for yourself out of the blue.
I'm thinking at the end of this semester, I may buy myself a loom. Or I'll wait and reward myself for getting through fall AND spring by taking a vacation to England. Or maybe I'll buy a new spinning wheel. Or some bedroom furniture... Ah, the possibilities! Guess I better get caught up in my school work, so that I earn that present.
