End of the Semester
May. 6th, 2010 08:15 pmFinally the semester is over. This was the hardest semester I have ever had; the stress was terrible.
Oddly, the stress wasn't class-work related. It was thesis related; I was running up against the expectations (or the expectations that I thought everyone had) and not quite making it. I was also sick a lot; at the end of last semester I think I got swine flu, and it took out my immune system. So I've been sick every three weeks or so. I'm sure the stress didn't help.
But now I'm done; and I'm eager to get out and just do archaeology again. Thankfully, we're going at the end of the month for five weeks to NM. It'll be mostly survey, but I'm glad nonetheless.
It seems like after the repeated set backs of this winter, things are falling into place for the summer.
