In Their Words

Getting back to everything

I don't know how many upperclassmen manage to keep coming back and getting back to the grind. I know I am not taking hard classes compared to them but my head is over it. I am glad to see my rook siblings back and actually getting work done instead of living a complacently joyous life during break :) Things are slowly moving back into normal procedures and I am unsure if I will ever feel like this lifestyle is normal :) But again the people here is usually what makes us stay the most.

The other kids

I am grateful that I technically have 2 more weeks of break while my friends are nearing the end of their break and starting back to school next week. I am enjoying my time here but my rook siblings seem to miss each other dearly. I am not saying I don't miss them. But I don't want to go back to using my brain just yet. Trying to enjoy every single minute of this break down to the second. I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays as we are nearing the next decade. Read more →

Finals grades...oh and its Christmas

I am glad to be back home. I've debated on whether to come back next Christmas or next next years summer. But that's future me's problem. I am nagged by my peers to go check my final grades and well I am too afraid that it might ruin my break if I saw them. They can't be atrocious but the knowledge is a killer. It's nice to turn off my brain for a couple weeks. Even though we just had Thanksgiving break. :) My flight home had me delayed only by 2-4 hrs. I was expecting my luggage to not show up either but I guess I should have a little more faith in our flight system. And Merry Christmas to all. I am glad to be back in California. Read more →
