Finals

Finals have rolled around again and here we all are, fighting our own personal battles waged with pen and paper.  Battles that begin, long before the actual test, when we sit down at our laptops to “look up notes” and find our fingers automatically typing “F…ac…e…b…” in the url. We struggle to turn off the television…just ONE more episode, or a very SHORT break.  We stay up late and cram til our heads feel about to implode and then realize that, perhaps, sleep would have been more helpful after all.

No, there is nothing like this time of year. Christmas is waiting so eagerly at our very fingertips…so enticing–and yet we have ONE more exam or paper or maybe just class. You finally discover which classes you actually learned something in…and which classes you have a notebook full of elaborate doodles for, in the place of notes.  It is the ultimate test of self-discipline. One which I will freely admit to failing miserably.  I can only hope, however, that that is the only test I will be failing anytime soon.  And with that in mind I should get back to my studies.
