Week 13: Famous Last Words

Well, this week has absolutely flown by! At first, I thought it was going to be a long week because Monday seemed to drag on, but now it's already almost Friday! As I mentioned in my last post, things are absolutely crazy right about now. It seems like all of my classes have reached the "crunch time" moment. There's so much to do in my capstone class in order to finish up and be able to graduate; it's honestly so stressful. But, our group has finally nailed down an experiment, so hopefully we will be able to finish up in a timely manner and complete the course!

As for this class, I regretfully became super busy throughout the month of April, so I have been trying to play catch up. This is obviously no fault but of my own. I am
hoping to be able to wrap up everything within these next two weeks, but as I said before, April is such a crazy month! My goal for this next week is to add my last Storybook story and complete all the way through to the review week.

In addition to all the craziness going on in my capstone class, I also have an upcoming physiology exam on top of working close to 30-40 hours a week. It's definitely been a challenging semester, but I think I have learned much responsibility and motivation from staying so busy. In a very backwards way, staying busy and occupying all of my time with things to do is what keeps me motivated. I love being super busy.

Another awesome thing I've gotten to participate in, not only this semester, but all year, is Relay for Life executive council. I am currently serving on the fundraising team, and we have been working all year to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This past week, we had multiple PR events to raise awareness about the awesome event, and after working so hard all year, next Friday is the day of the actual event. I am so excited to see our hard work play out! That being said...I must get on my soapbox for a minute. If you read this at all and are available on April 24th, you should sign up and check out this awesome event on the South Oval! It's going to be an awesome time!
