#30: This Is Final.

April 29, 2013:

It is already day 2 of finals week, or as it is better known, hell week. Just kidding. What good Christian kid would say that? Not I that is for sure…

I don’t know about you, but the past week has seemed strange to me.

The last week of classes has been full of last minute projects, final papers, and constantly checking eclass for an updated grade (don’t even deny it). I got to end my week with one last chapel of Freshman year. This chapel was kinda weird in itself because there were all of 10 people there. Okay I’m just being dramatic, but it was still weird to see the back half of all of the sections roped off so that people would be forced to sit closer to the front. And it was a free scan.

 That makes more sense.

Okay so I admit that I studied all of 40 flash cards the entire weekend, and was out experiencing San Diego like it was the last time that I would be able to. Because it WAS my last weekend here….until September. Okay okay lame excuse, but according to Facebook I wasn’t the only one trying to pretend like finals were a myth.

Which they aren’t.

Finals. Suck. No. Matter.  Who. You. Are.

Why must teachers cram so much of your grade into one long, mind numbing, packet of papers and call it a final. Why? I will definitely feel like I made it out of the Hunger Games after my last final on Thursday...

I find it funny how the entire look of the school changes during finals week. I can see that everyone already broke out the uggs and comfy sweats, and I’ve even the occasional person in the dressier than normal “celebratory” outfit. Congrats Loma, you officially look like most other college students on a daily basis. 

According to my lovely study partner, I should probably get back to studying for my death sentence final tomorrow morning.

Get some rest, remember to exercise, and stop stress eating Point Loma.

Until I make it out alive on Friday,

#29: Here Comes the Sun

April 18, 2013:

First, IT'S FINALLY SUMMER WEATHER! Let's see how long this lasts...

So here is my semester/ year countdown as it stands at this moment:
1 more week of classes.
2 more weeks until I leave.
2 more weekends to enjoy at my lovely new home.
6 finals.
15 days until the official end of the school year.
360 hours (until I pack my car to go home...)
21,600 minutes until summer!

Not too bad.

Looking back on this year and comparing it to the above list seems kind of surreal to me. I mean I will soon be done with 25% of my time here at Loma, and I'll only have 5 more semesters to go (1 in study abroad of course ;) ). I couldn't imagine one day being a Senior and looking back on all of that.

Another random thought that I had this week...

I've met so many people in this short 8 month period. I mean I look at old preview student pamphlets and the point weekly, and other Loma publications and all of those once foreign faces are now familiar and regular faces that I see around campus. Another freaky thought? You never know what the person (whether you know them or not) will do in their time here at Loma. I see/ hear of so many people I know that are already doing amazing things, getting recognition, or being talked about around the school. It's sometimes even those people that are the quiet and shy ones in class! Just remember, everyone here will one day do something great, so remember them!

Anyways, enough of that. I'm off to go enjoy some of the 360 hours that I have left here outside :)

Oh, and I probably won't post until closer to finals week. I mean, come on, let's be real (and honest) here.

Until next time Loma!

Soak up some sun,

Sun, sand, and tanssss

#28: Remember Where You've Been.

April 6, 2013:

It's been a while. Again.

Only 27 days to go! Whoo!

It's around this time where blogging isn't the only thing I procrastinate regularly...Why must projects be done this next week!

Anyways, all of this counting down the days has gotten me in a nostalgic mood. I'm not joking when I can tell you exactly what happened during that first week here like it was last month. Crazy to think that me and the rest of my class will not be Freshman anymore soon! I have talked to some Seniors who say the same thing...A big difference is that this is their last final count down as an undergrad here at Loma.

Welcome to the actual real world Seniors.

Along with the procrastination, comes that oh so wonderful feeling of not wanting to do anything. Anything.

Plus I've been at the PLNU special Olympics event all day. It was absolutely amazing! I had alot of fun and I know those athletes did as well :) Point for Loma!

With that, I'm kinda done for today. Maybe I'll go take a walk by the cliffs with the million dollar view (or $38 grand a year), or maybe tan? (Be jealous non-socal college kids)

Until next time (I can't guarantee how soon that will actually be...),

Laters Loma!

p.s. I highly encourage you to enjoy these next few weeks and even take a trip down Freshman memory lane (or throwback lane for all of you hipsters.)

 

Because Chipotle is rad and they love us!

Because the soccer team makes for a b.a. set-up/tear-down crew!

 Because studying here never gets old.

 Because running here is perfection.

 Because that sunset never gets old!

Because I love living at this beautiful place <3
