I wanted to write something clever today, perhaps something inspiring or important. But all I can think to say is that I'm excited.
I am so excited. This time of year is my favorite. But you have finals and projects and hard things! you might say. Yes, I do! I'll tell you why I'm excited about it.
I love the last week of classes and finals week. I'm finishing all the hard work I put in throughout the semester, I have established new friendships in my classes, I am nearing a new beginning, and it's Christmastime! I love that we work hard for a solid week and then feel an enormous release of tension as soon as our last test is concluded. A three-week break with absolutely nothing to do! We can't have homework because we don't have classes! I can be completely free for three weeks. I do not mind at all working hard and studying intensely for one week when that is my promised reward.
Not only am I free for three weeks, but I also get to go home! I get to return to San Diego and see my family, and spend all of my time with them. I get to participate in our Christmas traditions and go on a trip (this year we're going to San Francisco!), and fully enjoy the spirit of Christmas, without worry or stress.
Can you think of a better present? I sure can't.
One tough week is so worth it. And that's why I'm excited.
The sunshine is coming soon!
