Last Minute Preparations

So I find myself studying at the last possible minute for tests and quizzes. With Spring Break only a week away, I am now beginning to cram in the necessary knowledge in a completely illogical fashion. With tests tomorrow and Wednesday I will be glad to escape the bounds of academia and visit long-time friends as I develop stronger friendships with people.

Learning does not come naturally for me (and for anyone or anything, for that matter), but my determination and drive to finish school is dwindling. As an adventure seeker, I know I would excel in an outdoor setting; with stimulations and regulations on "where" I could go for college, I dismissed the opportunity to stay in my hometown and learn about outdoor education at Montreat College.

So: my to do list (yes, I am giving into the pressure and cracking down): (1) Study for Zoology Test (2) Prepare for GIS quiz (which will be partially hands-on), and (3) Read for Ecology Psychology.

The work may be tedious, but I need to learn that it will benefit me. I strive to become more creative. Over the last few weeks I have rediscovered my passion for photography and (however childish it sounds) began to color again. I desire to write; to write a story, create its characters, develop its plot, and describe its setting. The elements of literary inquiry have always been apart of me: I am an analyst who takes things literally, as one of my friends cordially pointed out to me today.

So long my friends!
