(no subject)
My motivation is completely gone...this is really no good at all. I have a midterm due in approximately 8 minutes which I am not even close to being done with, and yet I'm writing in this thing instead of finishing it.
Nothing frustrates me more than teachers who ask you to write 2-3 pages on something that really only requires 2-3 paragraphs to be completely well-developed.
This semsester is flying by so much faster than I expected it to. I think I've done a good job of adjusting to the changes that have come up and I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping my act together in the face of some really terrible behavior from people who I thought were my friends.
I've started runnign every day again, and it's proving to be quite good for staying well-balanced and keeping a perspective...hopefully it will start to pay off for my body, too, soon.
Africa week and Books for Africa in general are going really well this semester, it's great to have some people back from being abroad although I do miss others who are abroad now very much. You don't realize how important it is to have a "right-hand man", so to speak, until they are gone.... but Claire will be back in the fall and things will be awesome.
I'm getting really kind of excited for the summer....it's nothing too spectacular, just working full time and taking a few trips to visit people here and there, but I'm REALLY looking forward to just relaxing a ton and spending time with my family. Realizing that I'll most likely be pretty far away from them once I finish with grad school makes me really appreciate the chance to live at home this summer...I never thought I'd say that, but there it is. Also, I really am finally going to take driving school (I know, it's like the apocolypse...), and that will be a great hurdle to be past and to never have to worry about again.
I'm excited about having a sort-of plan for my future, and starting to see it through in the next few weeks will be a welcome sense of security. I need to figure out grad school, but knowing what I'm looking for is a great feeling.
I have an interview tomorrow to be an Experience-DC tour guide for GW...basically to lead incoming freshmen on tours of the city to get them acclimated and stuff before they start school. It sounds like it's right down my alley, and it'll let me move in 10 days early (which means first dibs at the room options in my room for next year....sweet!) for free. Housing next year should be interesting...I'm living in a 5-person room on the 9th floor of E Street, which means hopefully a nice view, washer and dryer in the room, and two doubles plus one single. I dont' know any of the girls I'm living with, but I think it will work out just fine.
Alright. Now I'm really off to finish this midterm and get some sleep.
Fin.
