Hello, and welcome to the end of your semester.
This upcoming week may be finals week. It might be the week after.
This upcoming week may be when all the final papers are due in your classes. It might be the week after.
However, it is important to have a strategy in mind for these events.
Yes, I know that Christmas and the holiday season are exploding everywhere.
Stay focused!
Be prepared.
Write those papers!
Study that syllabus as to what is going to be on the final exams.
Getting ready now will save you some late, late, late, late nights later.
Ask me how I know?
I have 2 papers due on December 1st. One at 1700 and one at midnight.
I have been working on them for about 10 days now.
Do what you have to do to keep your head in the game.
I could drag out a tired sports metaphor here but use your imagination and make it relevant to a sport you enjoy.
Final push and then a month-long break.
Breathe.
Remember the mantra that you’ve set up.
I’m using one from the original post on nursing mantras way back in July 2022-the only way out is through.
