Today was my long day, or at least that's what I've come to calling it. My Wednesdays.... they are long and eventful from start to finish. I spend nearly the entire day on the college campus as I attend two classes and a lab. Normally, I have come to enjoy these days, as crazy as it sounds. They are focused, productive and fun! But today, as I went through my day, I noticed a bit of a different tone on campus. Everyone, and I mean everyone, seemed annoyed, tired, busy, frustrated, on edge.. whatever, you get my gist. I actually felt it somewhat amazing to witness! Like some sort of phenomenon, from the professors to the counselors, to student leaders and of course, the students themselves, I came in contact with an insane number of grumpy and anxious people. They all seemed to speak the same piece of mind....
It's that time of the quarter!
Apparently the end of the quarter has snuck up on many of us. In fact, it was only two nights ago, I myself was loosing my mind in frustration, stressed about coming deadlines while trying to plan my next quarter at the same time. Needless to say, I was relieved to realize today that I'm seemingly not alone.
Geesh, I sound like a newbie to the college life, when I'm in fact not at all. But my point here was simply to point out a phenomena I witnessed today, as my instructor snapped, my counselor frowned, people were absent, present students were tense and I myself was a bit strained!
"It's that time of the quarter", is what I was told all day. And all I could say in return was, "Yup, thank goodness for the coming holiday breaks!"
Hang in there my fellow peers! Lets finish strong! :-)
