Student Work Day – Day 22-35
Whew, it's been quite a bit of time since my last update! Here are some significant happenings, study-wise, since then:
1) Thanksgiving Break wasn't as productive as a normal school week, but looking back, that was to be expected. Still, I had a good time in Vermont and relaxed...or slept during those long car rides.^^
2) The student work day is still going quite fine! Sometimes I'll hit on a bump like a longer afternoon nap than expected, or resistance to work, but all in all, staying in the library surrounded by studying students is a good thing for me. I haven't actually gotten any of the rewards I listed in an earlier blog post because having the evenings free is a reward in itself!
3) I've noticed that my room has been getting messier. I spend less time there, so there's less motivation to clean up, and when I am there, there seems to be a million better things to do than to clean my room. This is pretty different than before, when I think I was using cleaning my room as a way to procrastinate on starting homework...
4) Finals have begun! My first final is tomorrow evening. I'm more ready for this than I have been for any previous (math) final, and less stressed about it to boot. Overall, with my finals nicely spread out (three days between each one), I'm having a very reasonable end to the semester. Today I finished off the last assignment for my FWS (freshman writing seminar), which meant I got to move my "GERST 1170" folder to the "Inactive" folder in my computer files! It was exciting, I swear (it was a good class, by the way).

Good luck on your finals! I’m sure you’ll do great!
