I haven’t posted in a long time, and that is perhaps, reflective of how this semester is going. This is the hardest semester yet- 9 credit hours, and I am still working full-time. I am fortunate that I completed as many clinical hours as I did early in the semester so that is one less worry on my mind, but the worst part of the semester is motivating myself to finish. These will be the longest 6 weeks I have experienced, yet I am sure they will fly be quickly.
I have a serious case of Senioritis going on- a colleague of mine identified it for me, and I have rough memories of it from my senior year of high school, I don’t remember feeling this way when I was an undergraduate. It is difficult for me to concentrate on the tasks at hand, what is most important, putting first thing first. I just want to go shopping, or lose myself in reality TV that I haven’t been watching in years, that I suddenly feel that I cannot miss.
Writing my capstone has been like pulling teeth, I ordinarily have a clear path in mind, just need to work out the details on how to get there. This time, I have such a frighteningly serous block, I don’t know how to best manage it. Today, I had been able to make some progress on it, and it feels less foggy. I haven’t been posting my blogs either, again the writers’ block is preventing me from doing this too, and this is not the hardest stuff I have to write about!
The capstone is due on 4/11, final on 5/2, and graduation is 5/14. These days are so far away, but getting closer. Keep routing us on!
