I can feel it in the air... everyone has Christmas fever. You could walk down the hallways in the dorms and see mini Christmas tress in everyone's rooms, Christmas lights hanging on the walls, and snowflakes and Christmas tree decorations covering people's doors. And yes, I am one of those people who have gotten into the holiday spirit. Since I was unable to decorate a Christmas tree at home this year, my roommate and I decorated our own mini Christmas tree in our room. Now all we're missing is a fireplace, hot chocolate, and Christmas movies. I'm so excited to participate in not one, but two secret Santa's, as well. Goodness, who doesn't love Christmas time?
Even through all the Christmas spirit, everyone has to get into finals mode once more. This isn't my first rodeo, though, and I'm lucky I kind of have an idea as to what to expect. Finals are the end of this week and you can see the stress on everyone's faces. People who haven't been in the library all semester are finally going in to unfamiliar territory in hopes of it helping them study and get those grades up at the last minute. This past weekend was full of people catching up with their own procrastination and finishing up those last minute papers, presentations, and extra credit opportunities (never said I wasn't one of them).
So through it all, there is a light of the end of the tunnel- being done with my first semester of my sophomore year and being able to go home for Christmas. While it will be extremely weird not being at Coe for a whole month- I admit I am excited to relax and not have and worries when it comes to school. Yet, by the time January rolls around I will be ready to get back on campus and kick out my last semester before summer. Now time to go get on my study grind and make it through this next week of finals.
Kohawk love,
Alexis
