I am officially finished with Winter Quarter 2010. My room has been cleaned from top to bottom so, needless to say, I’m feeling very accomplished. My finals that I was required to turn in consisted on four papers (3,8,9, and 10 pages each) and one final project that ended up consisting of thirteen pages of written work. I jumped on my bed when that last paper was turned in at 8:30 last night, and then proceeded to pass out from exhaustion. Now that the quarter is over, this is the time when I look back and decide what I loved and what I hated about my ten winter weeks. This quarter, the good outweighed the bad. I hated the winter weather mostly. At this point, if I never lay eyes on snow again, life will be good. Check back with me next Christmas when I’m praying for a winter wonderland, but for now, flowers, sunshine and more flowers is all I want to see. I really enjoyed my classes. I switched from a political science major at the end of Fall, 2008, and it was such a great decision. Once again, check back with me when I’m an unemployed graduate in June, but for now, I think it was the right choice. English and I click. I analyze everything in great detail, and enjoy writing and reading. My classes did not disappoint. I took an array of classes from modern fiction to narrative theory and learned so much. But, alas, all good things must end, and I’m not shedding any tears over here.
It now feels great to just lay back in bed and blog while watching movies and packing. There is nothing on my to-do list besides dinner and a movie at some point tonight – and I love it that way! I’m really excited to go home and see all my loved ones. Both the weather in Ohio and New Jersey is horrible at the moment, but I’m hearing sunshine in NJ all next week – which makes me even more excited to travel home. Last year it was quite cold during my spring break. This year, I’m hoping for sunshine, bike rides, and a trip to the local ice cream parlor.
Today makes it officially three months until I graduate college. Three short months with ten weeks of actual classes – good God, bring on the panic attack. It is quite surreal. I try to put time frames like this into perspective. Three months ago was my mom’s birthday. We actually went to the city on the 12th of December to celebrate, and that feels like yesterday. Time really does fly when you’re having fun and too busy writing papers to notice anything else. I just hope the next three months keep me as happy and determined as the last three months have. I hope you all are as stress-free as I am at the moment. It feels awesome. ☺
