The end of the semester is always kind of a strange time for me - almost everything is winding down, but there is still so much work to be done. At this point, I am sort of a holding pattern - three of my classes are completely over, while two others have one final grade to complete. One of these final grades is a take home exam and the other is a final exam, but neither of them have been fully addressed in class. Because of this, I am in limbo between knowing that they will entail lots of work and studying, but not wanting to get started before I truly know what is going to be expected...I really hate this feeling, but I love knowing that in less than a week it will all be done!
I finished up my Writing Center class last Thursday with a party put on by my committee. Overall, it was a successful semester in the Writing Center, but I think I am going to step away for a semester and focus on other activities - I enjoy coaching, but it gets challenging and I think it would be best for me to take a semester off. I will have plenty of other things to occupy my time however!
For African American Lit., we had a final project to present. My group went on Monday - it felt great to get it over with because we had to act out a skit in front of the entire class, and if you know me at all, you know that is NOT my favorite thing to do. I really enjoyed this creative outlet however, and it was a great way to wrap up the course.
My Foundations of Business class finished up today. My group had to present our semester's worth of hard work on our business to the class. We ended up being very successful, making over $100 on our P-Day t-shirts and being able to offer sizable dividends to our shareholders. It feels great to finish up with that project, as that was the cause of a fair amount of stress this semester!
I have my final dance class tonight, but we won't really finish up until tomorrow, when we are going to be dancing outside on the library lawn as part of the Fine Arts Festival. The weather looks nice and my mom was able to get the day off from work and my grandparents live close by, so they will all be coming to watch. I haven't really had a performance since my senior recital back at the end of high school, so I am glad that they will be able to come.
The two classes that I have final grades in are American Lit. and Meteorology. I will have my Meteorology exam next Tuesday at 9:00 in the morning and my American Lit. take home exam will be due on Tuesday at noon. Between studying for the exam and writing the three essays for the take home exam, it will make for a busy weekend, but after noon on Tuesday, it is SUMMER VACATION!!!
This summer is going to be amazing, but a little scary at the same time - it will be my last real summer vacation! I will be working at the Admissions office again, I have tickets to a Maroon 5/Counting Crows/Sarah Bareilles concert in August, I will be going on our annual family vacation to Maine and hopefully doing lots of other fun stuff too. I am definitely looking forward to it!
