The fact was presented to me just yesterday that only forty days remain until the end...of it all. A long or short amount of time depending on what you compare it to. To me, this is fantastic news most definitely. Yet, I keep thinking back to Bio class last week and Dr. James' attempts to motivate us, and a saying about times of famine in Africa. It went something like this..."the hunger bites hardest right before the end."
A good representation of the feeling many students now have, when it seems that all the hours of studying and sleepless nights will soon result in your own death...or maybe just in nights of constant pranks and paranoia, of running through the halls in spy disguise, and of laughing when nothing, but everything, is funny.
Its a good saying to keep in mind, to help you make the best of the last and reflect on the knowledge this stage of life has brought. Whether or not you appreciated it before...you know it has been a beneficial step in your own personal progress.
"Through effort and perseverance perfections can be acquired."
