19 Days and Counting

What to say. 19 days until graduation. I can hardly believe it's here. I have so many feelings, but primarally I feel relief! My college years have definitely not been my best, though I have learned a lot. I look forward to the future, and have a continued since of anticipation as I close this chapter of my life. My goal is to renew my motivation, reduce my frustration, and eliminate stress these last 19 days.
My classes are going pretty well, I have a solid A in my Political Leadership class, as well as my communicaitons course. I have an A in my Biology class as well, but barely (a 91), so it will require that I do well on the final exam. Law is another story however. I have a Fairly solid B in that class...it's killing me how much work it is, but I'm learning so much that it's almost worth it. If I do get a B in this class, It think I'll be able to say that I earned it, rather than I slacked off and only got a B.
This week will be the week of truth. 3 papers due, as well as keeping up and studying so that I have a firm grasp on the material for my finals.
I am so excited about the future, there's so much to think about, and so much to do. The Lord has shown how He will always provide, and I am excited to see what He does next!!

A Little Rant to Release my Frustrations!

I'm taking a breath. This week has been so stressful! I keep wondering why I decided to tak this Crim Pro class my last quarter...I really think it's taking years off of my life. Never have I worked so hard in one class, and I'm praying to just pass the midterm! Reasonable Suspicion, Credible, Reliable Informant, Kyllo v. US, Expectation of privacy, 4th, 6th, and 14th amendments, right to counsel, fundamental fairness, curtilage of the home, 1983 civil action, so many legal terms bouncing around in my head! It's good to know, helpful in the future. But, it's exhausting to memorize, and remember, and write briefs, and defend 'clients'. I've only begun to understand what I'm doing, and a test is upon us already, a test worth 1/2 my great no less!

I will survive, I'm sure. 37 days from now I'll be walking across a stage accepting my degree, and leaving all of this behind me. I'm sure by then I will look fondly on these times, and say that I even miss them, but right now, I want to be done! I want to see what's ahead and leave this stress behind. I feel as though life is just beginning, and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!
