Plans for Vacation...

It is Friday, the last day of finals week and I think I speak for most when I say that vacation is much needed. This term was way busier for me than normal. It is to be expected with all of the activities I managed to be involved in this year with SOAR and ASG. Also with the tougher classes that I attended and such. Laboratory sciences take up a lot of time. But, it wasn't just me and my fellow ASG members and SOAR team mates. It seemed that a lot of other students stayed very busy all term. Walking up into the LAC, I noticed every time I went up there it was full of busy students studying their behinds off. Are students getting more and more serious about their studies? I think so. I for one, know that each and every year I get more and more serious about my classes as I near that graduation date (this spring by the way). This also means that I feel like I struggle more as time goes on and my expectations heighten. That said, I am excited for the three weeks of vacation I am sure to enjoy until classes start up again in January. I usually visit my family in Arkansas during this period of time, but I find that I am at a lack of funds to make this happen this year. It truly is a shame and I miss them but they understand. Instead, I plan to spend some time with family and friends that I managed to ignore for most of the term and maybe even get a little time in the snow. After all, if it is going to be this cold, I might as well get to enjoy some snow. Also, as un-relaxing as it sounds, I do plan to start some early reading for my winter term classes so as not to fall behind. Don't worry. I won't let it consume me. I will still get relaxation as should everyone else. I want to know what everyone else has planned for their vacation. Until next time...

Who's done with the cold?

Me! I am! I am!
Its a little distracting trying to walk to class when I'm FREEZING... All I can focus on is getting in the nearest door. Which more often then not is the WRONG door. Then back out in the cold I have to go. Is anyone out there that agrees with this? Anyone out there who doesnt quite want to give up the summer clothes? Or driving with windows rolled down and random river trips? I don't. I want them back.
I recently saw our ASG passing around a petition for something they obviously couldnt change (not at least without waiting several months).
Maybe this something I should do. Pass around a little piece of paper stating how much I object to the change in climate. I'll stomp my foot and wait several months and then I'll get what I want. Right??
Or... I could buy a better, bigger jacket. Either one works I guess.
Food for thought.
