7.5 Hours...

Today I am working in the gameroom for 7.5 hours and am trying to make the best of my time, but this is where having a myspace, a facebook, and a blog can get you in trouble. I have been somewhat productive but I know I will be regretting not spending every moment studying when I take my Lifespan & Development class tomorrow and it kicks my butt. I have been sick for almost 2 weeks now though and so I think I derve to take it easy, well as easy as possible with finals.
Sitting in the gameroom for all this time has also allowed time for me to think and I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around that idea that as of 4pm tomorrow when my final is over I will be a senior in college. This is really hard for me to fathom because I have always been the baby of the family watching my brother and sister who are years older than me go through life and school and I never could imagine myself as old as they were. Well here I am almost 22 and almost a senior in college. I suppose though that if I were like my sibblings Iwould also be getting married this summer...no thanks! Although I am very excited for summer because I know God is going to be stretching me and growing me in so many ways. There will also be sad things about summer like leaving CBU and the awesome people that make up my family here. So here it is the pros and cons of summer:

Pros: being home with the family, living with my sister, amazing weather, no class, Thailand, my birthday, getting to spend time with my Impact girls, being next to the beach, my Jew, my church, working Spirit West Coast, a new job, and what adventures might arise

Cons: not seeing Brie everyday, not seeing my CAB peeps, no event planning, no Jeni, no tennis court in my backyard, no Sandals, no 1 on 1s, no Jon, Dylan, Travis or Taylor, no roommates, no staff meetings, paying for all my food, dressing nice for my job, seeing friends every where I go on campus

Wow I never intended to write all of this but hey thats procrastination for ya!

FINISH STRONG!!!

These are two words that every student leader at Cal Baptist is familiar with because it is all we have heard the past few weeks. And I swear if I hear it again I might hurt someone, seriously what does it really mean?? Why can't they just say "remember: get everything done and we are here to support you" or "make sure you are working as hard now as you were at the beginning of the year" no there has to be a catchy little phrase that makes us all cringe every time we hear it. By now students have decided if they have completely checked out or not, and the ones who have aren't even listening to the "finish strong" speech so lets just cut those words out of the vocabulary for the rest of the year.

"Finish Strong Y'all!"
