School Me Saturday 10/7/23-midterm

Just like sands through an hourglass, this is the timeline of the semester.

Yeah, that is a reference to a soap opera.

But, depending on the start date of the semester, the time is really flying.

At the university I go to this is 8th week of the semester!

Or at the last university I went to for my masters this was the last week of the quarter.

Mind-boggling!

And true.

This is usually when the heat starts ratcheting up on students.

This is midterm week.

Tempers may be short, the caffeine money may be running shorter, and the to-do list per class may be just as long as the first day of class. Well, it might feel like that.

But learning has been going on in the past two months. Time to test that knowledge. Or time to write a paper or three. This depends on the curriculum of the school and the class.

There will probably be presentations though.

Take a deep breath.

In.

Out.

Maybe take a nap. Or have a mental break before hitting the books again.

Remind yourself that you have a family and you love them. Or remind yourself that you have friends and you love them. Remind yourself that you have pets and you love them.

Oh, and the last day to drop a class is right around here too.

That is always an option.
