It’s the third Friday of the block. You know what that means. Not so much partying this weekend, but a lot of essay-writing, presentation-making, and overall lacking of sleep. Super fun times! Quest goes through these pretty intense cycles…it’s just the way of life. The first week is pretty nice and smooth, a fair amount of homework, like readings and a couple presentations, maybe a small writing assignment. Then, the second week, the homework load definitely increases. But you have a great understanding of the material, so even though the assignments get more intense, you can handle it because you kind of know what the heck is going on. (Unless you’re in Phenomenology… just kidding…?) Then the third week is kind of a power mode. You’ve got a lot to do, and a lot of times if the class is really intense people start to get burned out. BUT they keep on going because in reality, there’s about 6 days of class left. So the last weekend is when all of the intense work gets done. Personally, I have another 750-1000-word explication (doesn’t sound so bad, but when it’s an analysis on Hegel, it gets pretty tough to come up with…well, anything), and I have a final paper comparing Hegel and Freud. As sadistic as it sounds, I am actually really excited for the final paper… haha. Anyways, everyone is exhausted and ready for block break, and you can just feel the fatigue all around the campus. But as soon as Wednesday night hits, everyone’s themselves again, and can totally relax until Monday.
I’m super stoked because my brother’s coming up to visit this block break. Fun times with the fam!
Yay for papers!
