So close...

...and still so far. Only 39 more days til I am home for the summer and I know that's only a little over a month, but it seems like an eternity. The past few days I have been in this weird funk of not wanting to do anything related to school. A couple of my classes seem pretty pointless this quarter and are really time consuming, which doesn't leave me the time that I would like for the classes I'm actually enjoying. What's wrong with that picture?? I know we're already past the half-way point for the quarter, but it's difficult to keep going when so many people are either done or only have one more week left. Grrrr why did I pick quarter system?? (side note: so far this is the ONLY thing that I dislike about quarters vs. semesters, so I really shouldn't complain too much haha).
I am also ready to be warm. It's a little bit sunny today, but definitely not warm. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 67...which is almost 70...which is almost warm...almost :) Again, it's discouraging to check the weather and see that its between 80-90 at home every single day. What is wrong with this picture?
Amidst all this funk, I have seen how great my support system is. I have a wonderful boyfriend who is willing to listen to me complain about, let's be honest, really stupid things, and still help me through them and tell me everything will be okay. I have lovely roommates and friends who are right there with me complaining and then we laugh because of how ridiculous we sound. They are there for me, encouraging me that we can get through it together. We're so close!! And of course, I have my family who is always there no matter what, telling me how proud they are of me and that they can't wait for me to be home soon.
In the end I know that I get this way every quarter- just wanting to be done. I get this way every year- ready to be home for the summer. And I always get through it and it never seems as bad as I thought it was at the time. Funny how that works out huh?

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
