Hell week x2!!
As I journey along these last two weeks of the semester, all I can think about is how I can't wait for it all to be over. Before that happens I must survive: a paper on Industrial Melanism, a final draft of my senior research proposal on Eurasian Watermilfoil, a regular Microbiology exam, a ten-minute powerpoint presentation, an essay for Climate Ecology, WRD (Westconn Research Day) presentation on our semester-long project of the identification of soil microbes in Lake Zoar using the 16S rRNA metagenome, a Microbiology final, an Evolutionary Biology final, and a Climate Ecology final.
College students let me hear what's uppp.
It's funny to think that after I'm finished with my undergrad I just want to continue on to graduate school when I hate doing schoolwork so much. I guess I just realize how important it is, and that you have to work hard to get where you want to go in life. Nothing is handed to you on a sliver platter... though some kids are brought up to think that way. Not me :-)
No matter how much I enjoy the beginning of a new semester, I can't even tell you how much I love when it's over. What joy a short recess brings in the yearly grind that is college life. It can be severely difficult to attend school full time while working 30 hours a week and trying to spend time with your somewhat-long-distance boyfriend whenever you have a free second (which is like, never) and of course don't forget about all your other friends... wait, what friends? ;-) It's sad I barely ever get to see anyone... unless you count the insides of my textbooks.
I'm just trying to hang on for these last two weeks because even though I'm not graduating I'm having a HUGE party with all of my friends from school, work, high school, and anywhere else I may have picked up a companion. I can't wait to see everyone!
On that note... wish me luck!
