The Long Night is Over

I haven't posted for a long time. A couple people have told me that they read my blog. I should be scared into taking this thing private; instead, I will post more from my mediocre mind to appease the masses.

The school year is over. I'm off to Seattle to work for the summer. The position is very exciting, so I can't wait to get started. 

I've determined that one of my pet peeves in life has to do with final exams. A couple of weeks ago, I heard an unbearable amount of whining about finals from students. In truth, that week is a lot of work, and it usually isn't just exams that causes panic attacks. Clean checks, moving, end-of-semester projects, and final exams themselves all push together. I really can see where it is a challenging week, but no one is impressed. College students as a whole have the best lives imaginable. Where a lot of people have extremely stressful, busy weeks every week except two weeks out of the year (without i-pods, laptops, etc), college students have extremely good lives with a few rough weeks a year. Most college students have more vacation than any other group of people in the world given their quality of life. So, in short, muscle through your difficult seven days or so and be on with it. 

Hmmm...did that sound harsh? I'm going to let it stand.
