Final Two Weeks

Yes I am still alive and here; I’m just overwhelmed with school work and with the ending of my semester.  Two weeks left and I’ll be able to relax for a bit. (Just two weeks though because I decided to take a summer course).  I have two papers due in the next two weeks, more entries on my story I have been working on this semester and I have to clean up another story to submit and to hopefully get published for my publishing class.  The next two weeks are going to be great.

Something I realized this semester is taking a class on the Holocaust and Apartheid on the same day can really make a person depressed.  Thursdays are my nemesis this semester and I am looking forward to being done with these classes.  Don’t get me wrong, I am taking away quite a bit from these courses and learning about them in a way that has been interesting; I just don’t think anyone should take both of these classes in the same day.  I am definitely looking at these incidents, (I know that isn’t a strong enough word, but I am struggling to find the right one right now), with a more in-depth knowledge of what happened to so many people by such a small group of hating individuals.  I also realized how much the two incidents had in common and how much one was influenced by the other.  They were tragedies no one should have gone through, but because of a hate so many had to suffer.

Now, I would love to tell you this semester was one of my best, but I cannot lie so I won’t say anything about how I feeling until my grades are in.  What I will tell you though is that I am glad the semester is almost done.  Another thing that has helped me keep my spirits up is the fact that I have one more year left and I will be graduating.  Yes, 18 years after graduating from high school I will be finally getting my BA.  So over the next year I will be trying to make sure I pass all my courses and figuring out what a person with a BA in Fiction Writing can do in the real world.  It should be interesting.

Well I better get back to all the homework I have to finish up for this week and hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be letting you know how my teachers thought I did this semester.  Until then, keep your eyes open and your mind free and let the world give you something to see.
