While there is only about a week and a half left of classes for the spring semester, I still feel as if this entire process is never ending. Summer, a time to relax and kick back is turning into a time of more school work. I am personally taking six hours over the summer as well as working. While we are ‘adults' now and becoming more accustom to the realities of the world all I can think about is how I am technically still in school and I would like at least ONE summer to do nothing.
I have not personally fallen behind in my class work, and I take an appropriate amount of hours each semester, however to graduate in the allotted four years, as much as I would enjoy taking a victory lap, I have to cram my summer full of class and work. I feel as I have spent the last two years filling up space on my arts form that frankly have little to do with my desired degree. It may just be me, but I feel as all the general requirements have been getting in the way of me advancing in my desired area as well as spilling over and consuming those precious three months that I use to call summer break. Well as of now the word break after summer has disappeared and been replaced with the word school, the place I could more than use a break from for the next couple of months.
I've always enjoyed my summer breaks and my parents have always encouraged me to take the summers off. The world culture is too fast paced with the growth of technology. I guess you just need to try to find quiet time when you are able to medidate and escape from the worries of daily life and recoup. Life is hectic, but quiet moments alone or congenial times with friends can make life happier. Good luck with summer school and work!!!
I was actually just talking about this earlier today. I feel like I spend so much money and countless hours on classes that don't pertain to anything I am going to pursue. But I suppose everyone is in the same boat and we just have to get through it. I also and taking summer classes and agree that this "break" is not the same as it was in highschool. Oh well, I guess as you get older you get more responsibilities.
