This semester it seems like I keep telling myself "I just have to make it through this week" or "I just have to get to the end of the day." Today sitting through my classes, I realized that every week is like this. April is going to be one heck of a month.

My favorite thing about the end of the semester is that everyone seems to have some big project due at the same time, and every professor believes that their class should be your top priority. I do not begrudge them of this view, but it does make it difficult to complete projects when each one has about 15 different nit-picky requirements with no apparent regard for the student's time or extracurricular involvement. Alas, I will have to do my best to stay on top of things and keep my head above water for these next 32 days. After all, I chose this lifestyle and therefore I have no right to complain.
To all you lovely readers out there that are going through the same last-month-of-the-semester crunch that I am, know that you are in my thoughts and I am sending you well wishes. We are all in this together and we will survive. To the Seniors, congratulations on making it this far- you are in the home stretch. For everyone else, here's to our mental and physical well-being, our GPAs, and to coming back in the fall.
Until next time!

This is exactly how I feel. I keep thinking, "Just have to get through this day." It's stressful because the end of the semester is when most of my professor load the papers and creative writing portfolios on us. Since the majority of my finals are creating portfolios of my work [with this semester two portfolios, one for poetry and the other for nonfiction writing, yikes]. It can be discouraging to think about, but I'm sure once it's all over, we'll be [hopefully] happy with the outcome of the semester. Good luck with the month and as you said you'll keep your readers in mind, we will keep you in mind, as well.
ReplyDeleteI have several projects and different things I need to get done and it feels as if my motivation is at an all-time low. I'm really looking forward to summer so I can be done with this semester, that's what is getting me through.
