Sink or Swim

Whew! Past the halfway mark and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This quarter has been a haze of papers, reading and tests. It is easy for school to be overwhelming when there is a lot going on at home, too. The best we can do is try to keep up with life and not let it get us down and make us lose focus of what we want. When that happens, we start to sacrifice our goals when they are so close to our grasp. It's easy to say you will take a quarter off to regroup or let things settle. If that's your plan, remember what John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." In other words, life isn't going to stop while you are trying to regroup, and it won't be easier to come back versus barreling through till you have that degree. It's the trials we go through that shape what we become.
