How does one measure progress? For college students it has to be one class at a time. Today was so draining, yet also so fulfilling. I had 8.5 hours of class as well as a meeting afterwards. In those hours were also two tests. Let’s start at the beginning.
Last night I’d been planning on relaxing and just hanging out since I didn’t have anything to do for Valentine’s. I did this and got so many things done. I remembered right after dinner that my application for studying abroad in Florence was due. I filled that out and wrote my essay for it in under an hour. I then finished outlining some of the key points for our reading by James Cone for Senior Seminar in Religion. After I finished that, I wrote up my weekly journal post and did some other reading. Well, I knew that I had my exam in Major British Writers this morning and I figured that I would lie down and read my notes and then go to sleep. I’d completely forgotten that Dr. Frye had given out a study guide for it. This wasn’t a normal study guide of concepts to know; it was the full-blown essay questions! He said that he wanted us to bring in an outline of our essay and be ready for the identifications he was going to ask us. There went my plans for just reading in bed. I started this at 11:30 and finished with it all around 2am; at least I felt adequately prepared!
The test went very well. I enjoyed writing some humorous responses to some of the questions and I was also able to tie in Greek and German stuff that I knew. Yeah, it’s Major British Writers, although it still ties in! After that, I normally wouldn’t have class; however, because of my project in my Directed Study in Greek, I sat in on Dr. Schmidt’s class on Paul and the Early Church. Between that and Buddhism I handed in my application for the Florence program and prepared myself for the rest of the day. Buddhism was especially mentally taxing today since we did a lot of philosophy stuff!
In my Photography lab, I developed a couple of the pictures I took of Mason (one of my roommates) skateboarding this weekend. I went from the Lab to a test in Sports Nutrition, then met Jessica (one of my friends from Catholic Community) for dinner and then we both went on to meetings. What a day! I’m almost completely drained, and have SO much to do before tomorrow morning, but I’m loving almost every bit of it. Now to go work out at the Rec. Center and prep for the Trail.
