The End is Near

Sorry for the lack of updates, everyone. The next five days are going to be fairly busy and basically represent the home stretch before finals. I've got a whole slew of group projects and presentations next week, and those are being finished up this weekend - along with my honors paper. Our last day of class is May 1, and then we have reading day, and then it's right into finals.

Honestly, it will be a whole lot less stressful for me once classes are over and all projects and papers are handed in. Studying for finals is totally doable - it's just getting all this other stuff done in time that's going to be difficult. The blessing in all of this is that having a lot to do makes the time almost literally fly by - I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already.

All I can think about right now is how awesome it's going to feel to pick up the rental car, pack all my stuff into it, and head for the horizon. The 21st-century equivalent of riding off into the sunset. The drive back to Seattle is going to be a much-needed break, a time to relax, reflect, unwind, and watch the scenery go by. I am very much looking forward to two days with nothing but me, the road, and a CD player.
