Daniel's Summer Blog

Turns out that I am not good at blogging with any semblance of regularity. The past two months are thankfully a blur with vague points of light that appear to be memories that I have chosen to hold on to. Maybe my mind is just attracted to shiny things. Speaking of ADD and related academics, I finally realized what people were talking about when they speak of "exam stress." I generally do a good job of keeping my stress lower than Marcus Vick's character level, but this semester really got to me. I was in five classes for the first time, but the end-of-semester work seemed to be exponentially related. I did not crumble, but endured, plowing through my work in an unorganized though efficent manner. The were two lights that helped me in my darkest of hours (literally, the sun set at four-ish). The light at the end of the tunnel was obviously winter break. The torch-in-hand however, was the fact the no matter how behind you are, no matter how short your paper is, no matter how little of the material you have read, there is always someone deeper in the pit. I am not sure how this works, because logically there has to be a bottom rung. If you have the solution, don't tell me, I would rather not know.

Almost everyone is going abroad so it will be quieter than usual at the deis next semester but I may take six classes (one independent study) so I will be fairly busy between schoolwork and workwork. That being said, I would like to get into Beantown to go to hockey games and the like, because I did none of that in the fall. I guess that is my new year's resolution: round myself via watching grown men slap a bit of rubber across ice, occasionally getting mad enough to slug each other for it.
May all your resolutions be as attainable.

P.S. More funny stuff next time.
