Every Mile a Memory
December 3rd, 2007
It’s crazy to think that the first semester is almost over. It’s even crazier to think that just six months ago I was still in high school, suffering from senioritis. And now that we’re coming down to the end of classes, I can feel myself falling back into that infectious disease. Though I only have a few assignments and papers left, I would rather do anything else.
Thanksgiving break was no help, teasing me with a small break from work and fun times with friends from back home. Christmas break is sounding good right about now, and the thought of a new semester of classes is exciting!
Though this semester has flown by, it has definitely been full of memories. I’ve learned a lot about being a college student, about EMU itself, and about myself. And it seems like as we approach Christmas break and the end of the semester, there is more and more to do! This weekend is full of activities like a production from the book “Blue Like Jazz.”
Last night was a Gonzo theatre performance, which is where anyone can submit poetry, short plays, or monologues, and then anyone can direct a cast of students. However, the director only has the script for a day and their actors for an hour before the performance. It’s a good time. Saturday night is the semi-formal, and the campus movie, displayed in one of our auditoriums.
I have determined that this weekend, I’m going to get everything done for the rest of this semester. Saturday, I’m going to sit down and make myself do that ten page paper I still to write. Then, hopefully, I will be free to relax the rest of this semester.
Though this year is flying by, I like the pace. It’s exciting, occasionally stressful, and full of memories.
