First Week Back
This week came easy. I'm no longer feeling aftershocks of midterms. Rushing to campus for 8am Biology is no longer at the top of my "don't want to do" list. I no longer do the "5 more minutes" routine for staying in bed. I wished I had when I realized that the Biology lab assignment for the week was the dissection of a pig. Uh-oh. No warning?! I was already in the elevator when a classmate brought up the lab assignment for the day. My stomach started doing cartwheels, although it was empty. It was too late to run.
When will the weathermen give an effective report? On Tuesday, there was a nasty storm moving towards the eastern parts of the country from the west. The weather reports screamed "Mix of sleet/snow." It never came, except for a few minutes of very small, light flurries. Of course, a lesson that never gets old..don't believe everything you see or hear. I used to love wintertime because of all the snow days, but at Gallaudet, snow days are like eclipses- rarely seen, but when they make appearances, it's special.
I've lived in Maryland most of my life. I have to say, the weather gets stranger and stranger every season. Just when we think it's safe to pack away the thick coats that weigh us down, the wool scarves, the boots, thermals, gloves and hats..it's time to take them out again. It's an easy excercise routine. Pack, unpack, pack unpack. The first day of spring break, it was a warm 83 degrees. The next day was a smack in the face with cold wind and clouds. At Gallaudet, the weather doesn't affect students' wardrobe. Deja vu? Yup.
So, it's Friday and sadly, my weekend life will be close to nonexistent. The first week back from spring break and I'm beyond up to my head in schoolwork. I've heard "sky's the limit" but in college, there really isn't any limit. That's the thing about college..learning doesn't stay behind once you leave the classroom. Rest assured, in the end, it'll all be worth it. ;)
