I love this place

First off, my bad for not getting this up Thursday night. I know you were all worried that something happened to me, but I was just really tired and didn't have the energy. And then yesterday I forgot. So now, since I have free time and I remembered, I figured I should put something up to make sure you know I haven't forgotten about you. (Yes, I'm talking to you, reader of my blog.)

This week has been kind of up and down, but good overall. It was definately draining (that's for sure) which is evident in the fact that I didn't even have the energy to even type up a blog entry.

First of all, the not so fun stuff. Every semester there is at least a week or two when it seems like EVERYTHING is happening at once. In my case, I have a big project for my Corporate Strategy class due next week, but since it is a group project we have to work on it together. The only time we can do that is this coming Monday night. This is fine, except that also on Monday night I have class, Student Senate, and I have to study for my Money and Banking exam for the next morning at 8:00. And Money and Banking exams are usually pretty rough, requiring you to study for at least a couple hours. I would rather not be up super late that night (seeing as how the actual exam is at 8:00 am), but I know I will be. I would maybe study tomorrow, but I am going to a Cleveland Browns game with MCB (the activities board on campus, it's pretty sweet). We aren't going to get back until some point at night, after which I'm doing a floor activity until probably after midnight. And today will be busy because I'm giving a couple tours today and Mary's family is coming for Family Day, so I will be spending time with them as well. Plus it's Saturday, and it is probably the hardest day of the week to get motivated to study.

Ok, so if you take all that I talked about up above, add in the fact that I haven't had a whole lot of sleep for the past couple weeks, plus the fact that I'm starting to get a cold, it just seems like a lot.

The good news? I love it. I mean, it's college. I'm going to a Browns game tomorrow along with a bunch of my friends, next week I'm gone for the weekend in South Bend, IN for the Notre Dame vs. Air Force game (which is seriously one of the coolest things ever!!!), and Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Plus, after this week I'll have a lot of homework and projects out of the way for the semester. I get to spend time with my friends and just put off being responsible for a little while as we watch a movie or Scrubs or play Eurorails (the best board game ever). No matter how many things I have going on here, I love it, because I know that everyone else here is experiencing the same feelings. There's a sense of accomplishment in knowing you can get through it.

Man, I'm gonna miss this place next year.

Until next time,

Scott
