Exams: Two Down and One to Go
I absolutely cannot believe I'm one-fourth of the way through college. Well, almost. I have one more exam tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Most people begin to freak out around this time of year when the word exam starts popping up, but if you've gone to class and done well so far, exam week can actually be less stressful than usual. Exams are spaced out so that you have plenty of time to study and the library is open 24 hours a day for some assured peace and quiet. And for the most part, professors are pretty straight-forward about what you need to know. So, in my opinion, exams really aren't all that bad! (I do realize I'm saying this after my tougher ones are over!) Wow...one more and my freshman year at USC is over! It's hard to believe, huh?
This past weekend, I spent a lot of time with my closest friends, one of which will be moving back home to Virginia on Wednesday. It's hard to describe the emotions I'm feeling right now. About a month ago, I thought, "Ahhh, just get me to summer." But honestly, now that it's finally here, I'm definitely not ready for it. I've already had to say goodbye to a bunch of the people on my hall, and since I'll be in Hawaii next year for school....it really is goodbye! It's scary to think I may never see some of my 'Capstone neighbors' EVER again. I mean, who knows what could happen in a year, right?!
Don't get me wrong when I say these next few things, because I truly have enjoyed this past year...but anything can get old. For example, by Spring Break, I think everyone's sick of living in a cooped up dorm room and most of us are tired of eating the same food on campus every day. But you know what? I'd give anything to have another few months of loft beds, RA's, breakfast buffets, and Russell House food. I think most endings are bittersweet, but this one is for sure!
But hey, every cloud has a silver lining! I'll definitely get to visit some of my new friends this summer and even though I'll be missing out on a few things next year, I really can't complain at all. I'll be surfing, laying out, and hula dancing (ha!)....all on the sweet shores of HAWAII! (Jealous yet?)
