“There is a serene and settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations.”

The Student Saga: Ending a Semester

So I'm sitting here in my history class listening to a discussion about gender change in world history. Not that the lecture isn't interesting, but apparently women are better at multi-tasking than men due to the excess of white matter on our brains, so that's my excuse.

The end of the semester is approaching much faster than I expected and I can't decide whether that's a good or a bad thing. Yesterday, I wrote out a list of about twenty projects that I have to complete before April 21, so right now I'm opting for bad. My motto lately has become "just take baby steps" because when you look at the whole of everything you are responsible for, it is slightly discouraging to say the least.

Also, I'll be taking classes during the spring and summer semesters, so when this semester is over I don't get a break. I'm really hoping I will enjoy classes more though, because after this semester I will be essentially done with my generals so it's just onto English and history classes!

I have been having major issues getting motivated lately. It's terribly awful actually. Just when I get pumped up enough to crack open a book or something, I see my guitar out of the corner of my eye, so I'll pull her out (her name is Jenny by the way...After one night watching Forrest Gump name his boat, it became suddenly clear). Then, I'll decide I'm hungry. Or tired. It is a never-ending, vicious cycle that is leading me to destruction.

In fact, I'm writing this blog entry right now as an alternative to doing the homework I desperately need to do...Alright, then bring on the literature lectures, music reading and public relations write-ups because I'm ready to finish up this semester with a vengeance! Next stop: motivation. Hopefully.
