an interruption from finals cramming
I've come to the realization that I don't take advantage/enjoy the ocean's close proximity as much as I should. It's literally a block from where I'm living this year. I tend to notice these kinds of things when the academic quarter is wrapping up. You notice everything. What you failed to do the last ten weeks of your life, and what you definitely accomplished. Each ten weeks marks 8.3% of my undergraduate experience. It sounds real minute and irrelevant. And it did in the beginning. The reality of time however, is hitting me hard now. After this term I will be able to count the number of quarters left on one hand. (Granted I'm graduating in 4 years in June 2010). Now thats daunting.
I hate to be hasty with this entry as I have loads to write about and reflect on Fall 2008. I promise to return Tuesday evening (err, maybe Wednesday?) once I've completed every last obligation and cross off every item on the to-do list. Final exam tomorrow 8 am, drawing portfolio due tomorrow 12 pm, ten page research paper due tuesday 1 pm. And then it'll all be over. So time consuming, but definitely within reach and doable.
I've already come up with a new to-do list after though. Work on study abroad apps, clean my room, continue decorating my room, finish all thats in the fridge so it doesn't spoil over winter break, pack for break, check in with advisors for feedback on next quarter's schedule, return library books, figure out when I'm departing for los angeles etc. etc. etc.
First on my list? Taking a stroll along West Cliff -- breathing in the salty breeze, taking in the enormous blue, gorgeous and gaping, as it always is, as it always waits a mere block from me.
