Realization

 Okay everyone, it's time for the obligatory countdown blog. Seriously, this semester has blown by. I was looking through my flash drive for an assignment earlier today and it just dawned on me how much work I've done. At first, I was all like:

All the papers I've written, all the hours I've put into projects, all the sleep I didn't get... Not to mention the cabinets filled with random assorted handouts and notes I've taken. I sorted through all of that this past weekend and I couldn't stop thinking that just by being in class this semester, I've become an accessory to tree genocide in a forest somewhere. It's ridiculous, folks. You never really think about it, but all of it adds up.

But then I started thinking that I've actually finished all those assignments. That work is mine. The way I see it, my brain has given birth over 30 times for nearly every subject I've taken in the last 4 months. And I'm still not done. So, by that token, I'm all:

Now there are 25 calendar days until the end of the semester. We're in the homestretch right now. Hopefully, I can keep the motivation up long enough to get to finals week;In the meantime, I'll be counting down like everyone else on campus.  I guess that means lots of tea... and cake. But more cake. Definitely more cake.
