So it is now the last two weeks of school! I am tired, excited and stressed out all at the same time. After speaking to many of my colleagues, I think we all feel the same.

#1 rule during finals - try and get as much rest as you can..If you stay up all night, your body will be tired and then you may not do so well..and stay hydrated..you dont want to be tired during your exams.

I was walking across campus today and I was so impressed with how many study groups were going on all over campus. I saw groups in the SU, sitting in the PUB, outside in the grass, inside study rooms in the library, all the computers were taken in the library too, which I dont see too often. Everyone is in Study Mode!

I love talking to other students and being able to have diverse intellectual conversations about politics. I am sad that this semester is ending because we did have a great class in Contemporary Political Thought. The students amaze me with their knowledge and passions about different issues. It helps you get to know other students as well as find out a little something about them you didnt know. Some students are lobbyists, some are trying to get into prominent law schools, but all of us are there to succeed.

It is also getting close to Graduation, and I am sad to see some of my colleagues leaving, but I hope we will keep in touch. The Political Science majors are like a little family. Its really neat having so many people you can turn to for advice, help, or even resources. I think of it as a non partisan think tank, if that exists. lol

 I found out that my daughter is going to have to have her adnoids taken out and ear tubes put in, but I am hopeful that it will only make her feel better. She has been suffering with a sinus infection for 16 weeks now, lots of nights up all night, plenty of days home sick, lots of trips to the ER, Urgent Care, and the doctors. She maintains such a positive spirit that I have to lead by example and also maintain the same optimism.

I wish all of my friends that are Graduating luck and I wish them the best in all their endeavors. If I ever need an attorney, I know where to find them. :)

Back to studying and finishing some unfinished projects.

Best
