For those of you who are familiar with track and field events, this semester has been like a 1500 meters race. My assignments have been spaced out from each other, so it\u2019s been a strenuous, but I\u2019ve been able to maintain my stride. However, the entire speed of the race changes completely tomorrow. An e-mail from Professor Murphy sums up the entire feeling of the next three weeks. It\u2019s a \u201csprint to the semester's finish!\u201d It\u2019s a bittersweet feeling, too. I want the next three weeks\u2019 workload to pass by quickly, but I don\u2019t want this semester to end. I\u2019ve loved all of my classes this semester, and all of my work has been strangely enjoyable. I\u2019ve also shared some great times with my friends this semester, and Christmas break seems too long at some points. But, I can\u2019t get caught up with Christmas break. I need to finish my research papers, presentations, and exams! <\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Thanksgiving break was most welcome! I went home to Alpharetta for the break. My parents have done a lot of work to the house, so I didn\u2019t recognize my room at first. Even though it was a short visit, it was great to be home and spend time with my family. <\/p>\n
Speaking of the next three weeks, liturgical ministry has some awesome events planned for Advent. The suspended Advent wreath is going to be hung in St. Joseph\u2019s sometime soon. The Advent Reconciliation Service is on Tuesday night. The chaplains also provided the student leaders of Liturgical ministry with an Advent meditation calendar. So, while these next few weeks might be stressful, there are still opportunities to relax\u2026oh, yes, and goof off with my friends! We\u2019re all looking forward to \u201cWii Need a Break.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
