End of the Semester

One final left to go and I'm done! I get 4 weeks off! I need this time to catch my breath. Going full speed for too long now has drained my energy completely. I used to do this. I used to work harder than this and go to school and I was fine.

The conclusion I've come to is that I am getting old.

This isn't a bad thing though. I'm embracing it. I remember when I was younger and my mom would tell me that she loved her gray hairs. I aspire to be the same way.

I am a 29 year old sophomore at Metro State. Many of my classmates are 10 years younger than I am. This makes for an endlessly entertaining learning environment. I just cant believe that the excuses we used to use still work. You'd think that with all the advances in technology, they'd get better excuses.

If there is one thing I've learned in my on and off time as a student its that I am the only one that is going to keep my education on track. So many people here at school assume that they should be given an A in a class just for showing up. Yikes... I shudder to think of what will happen when some of these people realize that they have squandered their possibilities. Okay, I'm preaching now and I'll stop because I realize that everyone is different and my priorities are not the same as everyone else's.

I'm just saying that beer and homework can both be priorities if you work at them.

Well, that was sort of off topic, darn my stream of consciousness. Anyway only one final left and then I can work on some of my other priorities. Like family, friends, the holidays, church and beer!
