Famous Last Words: OU/Texas

From academics to athletics this was a hard week. I had four midterms in 24 hours and a myriad of additional assignments to boot, and it was a struggle to keep up with Pride rehearsals and everything on top. The Texas trip was so much fun! It was a great opportunity to spend time with old friends and grow closer to new ones in the mellophone section- win or lose the game I know I’ve won by having these people in my life. This class-wise I’m continuing with my goal of doing more extra credit, and am glad to have a week off of Reading assignments because it will hopefully help me to get ahead on them, instead of behind like these past two weeks. It’s also our football bye week and a much-needed Monday rehearsal reprieve. I still play at a volleyball pep gig on Saturday, but the time commitment is much more conducive to healthy sleep habits and studying for the next barrage of midterms. I just added another Story to my Project Portfolio, and though I don’t like it as much as my first story I believe it has a lot of potential, especially in the next two weeks of revising. I’m considering rewriting it with a space-y theme, because the scene it’s about (Draupadi getting gambled into slavery) reminded me of the plight of Leia, C-3PO, and R2 in the beginning of Return of the Jedi. The only “first midterm” I have left in a class is for Physical Chemistry two weeks from tomorrow, and I am absolutely terrified. Fear is a powerful motivator, however, and I anticipate starting to study far earlier because of it. My mid-semester resolution is to be a bastion of positivity, and to only complain in constructive ways, as it’s far too easy to get down in the dumps under an unending barrage of schoolwork. We’re all in this together and if I can brighten someone else’s dark day by focusing more out than in, I’d call that as much of an extracurricular success as doing well on a test.
