Post-Thanksgiving
In a perfect world, everyone would celebrate being thankful for things. As noted last week, apparently these Brits aren’t thankful a damned thing. Which is fine, except when you have to spend a week hearing about how all of your friends are home with their families for the holiday. Jerks.
And now as American students return to the grindstone refreshed and focused on the end game of finals that is looming in the distance, American students abroad are left wondering where our tank-filling time is. Even though the time being spent here has been amazing, I still am starting to run low on gas. Not that it’s taking a toll. Of course not.
With the weight of the grades in my courses placed on these last few weeks, and in an attempt to finish off strong at ORBIS, I am currently running later and later into the night to ensure all my work gets done at a quality level.
It surely does not help my cause that I am perfectionist when it comes to things one cannot perfect. I’ve re-edited the open to a video presentation over five times and continually switched the music. But hey, that’s the cost of doing business.
How will I stay awake through these last few weeks? Coffee? Don’t drink it. Soda? Possibly. The new After Eight McFlurry from McDonald’s? Absolutely.
