Most wonderful time of the year? Yeah, right! Although Christmas is a wonderful holiday as Christians celebrate Jesus's birth and spend time with their family, this time of the year isn't the best for college students!
Exams
It's official "dead week" and as my friend, Grace, said it should be called "death week." I've been in college for three years and I have never experienced a real dead week. This is the last week of the classes and supposedly, professors are not allowed to assign gobs of homework and tests, so students can start preparing for exams. However, EVERY professor tends to assign final papers and assignments all due during dead week, so we get death week. This week I have a journal, two presentations, a homework assignment, one ten page final paper, and another fifteen page final paper. So far, I have tackled one presentation, the journal, and I just have to review the first final paper, and I am about to do my second presentation at 1:30. IT'S ONLY TUESDAY! Needless to say, I'm ready for this week to be over. I would rather take exams. Hahah So, to all of my fellow college students- GOOD LUCK!
Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! I traveled to my grandparents and it was a good time; however, it isn't home. Because of work and going to my nana's and papa's house, I wasn't able to go home! I love my family, but it just isn't the same. All the grandkids, all three of us (haha), finally took updated pictures together. The last ones we took were when I was 15. They really needed to be updated. All of the pictures turned out great. I must say, I have a good looking family. :)
My journey
It's incredibly hard to believe that I am about to finish up my first semester of my junior year. WHERE HAS TIME GONE? Next year, I will GRADUATE! Again, WHERE HAS TIME GONE? I've been talking to my parents about this, as I am starting to get nervous. I feel as if every day goes by a little faster. Although, I am excited about my future, I am incredibly nervous. I must admit that I'm scared of failure. My goal has never been to graduate from college, but to get into graduate school. The last 2.5 years everything I have done school wise is not so I can graduate, but so I can get into graduate school and obtain my masters in public administration. What if I can't get in? I'm nervous. However, I know God has a plan for me. I'm looking forward to the new year, I feel as if every year brings a new start. I already have some resolutions brewing! :)
