This week is the beginning of what is called dead week. It is given this name due to the fact that finals are next week. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it truly was a dead week, wouldn't there be no classes? Maybe, maybe not. If that's not why it gets the name then it would be fitting because every brain on campus is just tired and maybe even dead.
To be straight to the point, it's been a long ride this semester. Something that is making it feel longer is the fact that many schools around here have finished for the semester and are on summer break. Some of my friends have graduated already and we still have two more weeks. I know this can sound like a broken record because it was the same concept in the winter. We had such a long break and it seemed like we were the last to get back going. It all works out in the end, though.
I'm pretty lucky because I don't have many big projects or stressful finals this semester. I'm more than excited to be nearing the end of my foreign language class. French has been its own monster and I'm just ready to get it over with. Some things in the French language simply make no sense. Anyway, that's all I have to say about that. If you've ever had Dr. Tilton, you know his classes are pretty heavy. I'm in his layout & design class and our big project is to create a digital magazine with at least 16 pages. Unsurprisingly, I chose to make one about sports. So far, it's been going well. Other than that, I don't have much and I am elated.
The best thing about this semester is how we worked harder in the beginning to earn not having social media class for the week before finals. I had Dr. Aggie in Principles of Public Relations last semester and in the beginning I felt overwhelmed. In the end, it's worth it. A load of stress is removed and time to study and do work for other classes is basically handed to us after our final.
I wish everyone the best of luck on their finals and projects. This academic year was one full of just about everything but, nonetheless, we made it to the end.
Chase Coburn: it's been an honor reading your blogs all semester. I never would've thought that we had so much alike until I started to read your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Cade! It is definitely not fun to be the last ones to be done with school. My brother has been done with his year for two weeks and my other siblings finish middle school and high school before we are done as well. I am so thankful that we are almost done though because this semester has felt insanely long!
ReplyDeleteHI Cade! Good luck on your finals! I had a great time reading about your sports blogs throughout the year! I was very informed every time I get to read about the updates in the sports world!
ReplyDeleteThis semester definitely is ending at an odd time. Not too sure why we are one of the last schools in the country to end. Hopefully it will be different next year?
