The Stretch…

With the end of the semester quickly approaching, I am really looking forward to a summer vacation- my last one at that. This semester has been hell and the culmination of all my work starts to come together with one of two major events I planned this semester. Not to mention two papers due Monday, two tests in the next two days, meetings, clients, and of course, the unforeseen stuff. At this moment I am still unemployed for the summer, but honestly, for the first 2 weeks at least, that might not be such a bad thing. Still I know I should do some applications next week, when I will have some time to myself, in the midst of 100 things ending and 100 more beginning.

I write this because I need to vent, but also because of the post I just read over at Waiter Rant. I take solace in the fact that I am not the only one feeling small, anxious and burnt out. I hope the waiter enjoys those days off. I know that my busy schedule will calm down once the summer comes, even if I am working a full time job. Anyway, posts will be (and have been) sparse, and I apologize for that. But once school is done, this should pick up again. Later!
