MID-TERM EXAMS ARE HERE!

The resident assistant screening process is heating up and all the applicants are working hard to prove how worthy they are for the prestigious job. There are over 200 applicants vying for about 20 jobs. Everyone is doing his/her best to ensure he/she is chosen. We have classes at 8 p.m. on Sundays and weekly assignments. I just finished completing an actual bulletin board for a residence hall. I feel so proud considering that the board was for the hall with the most seniors on campus plus they all loved it. I also had to create a proposal for a hall program which I thought was a great deal of fun while being really important. The classes are going well and I feel as if I have a really good shot at this job even though I am still a freshman.

Mid term exams are also coming up. The amount of work that is required for classes is therefore multiplied twofold. Professors are piling on all the work that they can in an effort to complete the necessary portions of their respective syllabi. A whole lot of assignments are due and all students including myself have to be scrambling to complete all the required work on time. At the same time mass cramming is taking place so as not to fail any of my courses. Unfortunately, I am not as confident this time around as I was last semester. I do not feel like my GPA will be as high as it was then. That sucks! However, I hope that I can raise it to a level that I can at least be comfortable with. Therefore, it is just crazy preparation, studying and assignments for the rest of the half term. I can’t wait for all the work to subside and for spring break to raise its desperately attractive head. It will be such a relief.
