The weather is finally starting to change for the better, and I like it. I had an Art History test today, I'm pretty sure it well. Unfortunately I skipped my Religious Studies class today in order to study for it, and I believe it was a wise decision. I rarely skip class, and I don't condone it, but sometime it is a must.
We have spring break in a week and a couple of days. I just have to take two more tests and write a paper before that. and I have a test and a paper after spring break. but I'm still looking forward to spring break even though I'll have work to do during it. I could just push it off till that next week, but I may be doing a triathlon that last weekend of spring break, but maybe not.
Over spring break, I don't plan on doing too much. the rowing team usually goes on a training trip but this year it was going to be too expensive so we're not going anywhere. We could obviously stay here in town and train, but it would only be half-hearted, so we're not going to. So I'm looking forward to going home for the week since I don't get to make it home very often, but I am planning on visiting a couple of law schools over the break, so that should be fun.
As we get closer to the end of the school year, which also means graduation, I'm getting more excited. There was a time when I thought I would never make it to the point of graduating. So I'm here to tell you that it is possible to find a major that you enjoy and be able to graduate. It's a determination that must come from within you. Just like a coach can not coach effort, a teacher can not teach the will to succeed. I know that sometimes it is hard to find that will to study and work hard, but when you know what you want to do afterward college and have a goal to work towards, it becomes much easier. so stick with it.
