Thanks Midterms, for Perspective

This week...............is midterm week for those of us here at MACU. It's Wednesday which means it's halfway through midterms, and I am trying my hardest to get everything done. Passing courses, performing well, waking up and not feeling like someone just ran over you with an eighteen-wheeler, and then backed up slowly over you again, are all blessings. There is still a lot to get done and it makes me feel a little like this most days:

Books piling up, work stacking and never going into the "out" box. It's overwhelming sometimes and sometimes gets a little crazy, BUT these are the days you have to take a hold of. These are the days that show you your diligence, that show you your will to succeed in whatever is put before you. This, of course, is on a small scale.

So I have chosen to conquer my enemy with a smile and have faith in myself and God that I will be able to sift through the work and come out the other end academically unscathed.

See that face there? That's the face of champions. Or just a really tired girl taking a picture of herself at a skangle (sky angle) feeling confident about her work.

Either way, its getting there, Friday is on the horizon, all things will be said and done. Whatever I massacre on my grades now can be made up by December, but I would like to not have that perspective but instead have the perspective of "Oh yeah, I'm going to pass without a doubt". 

Anyway, it's stressful but I can do it, and if there is a student reading this I say YOU CAN TOO! It's not hard really, we just have to stop our abnormally ADD American brains from jumping around long enough to get stuff done (this is no offense to anyone who is clinically proven to be ADD, we just use that excuse to much about why we can't succeed when it isn't even proven to us.)

Well that's my spiel. I hope your midterms are turning out beautifully.

All to God
