Final stretch

The end of college hasn’t recently affected me much until recently. I think it was just last week when it hit me hard that I was about to finish my academic life. School will end about 2 weeks from now. In between I have some tests, papers, and other things I have to deal with. Last week was such a hell week for me. An long test for French 2 on Thursday morning and a haphazardly planned mock defense for LS 127 in the afternoon. I had a report for JapMan in Friday morning and a Theology report + paper in the afternoon. On Saturday, we had the actual defense. I think I did well on my reports. In fact, I got an A for my JapMan report and a 3.4=B for the LS Defense. We felt so great that we got such a high score for the defense. We almost got a B+=3.5 but we got a low score from one of the three panels (3.6, 3.55, 3.05). It was a great improvement from last semester when we only got around 2.7. Yesterday I got back my French LT and I got a 94. I felt so relieved that I got a high score. I wasn’t doing well in the first half of the semester. I failed my first LT and my first few quizzes as well. My teacher even talked to me after the because she was scared that I might fail the class and not graduate. Luckily I got a high grade for the second LT so I can still pass this class. She even wrote trés bien beside my score. I encountered a major slump in the middle of the semester. I wasn’t doing well in most of my subjects. I thought I might not even graduate. This recent events has inspired me to work harder for the finals week next week. In basketball terms, I have the hot hand right now. I have to keep this up until next week. With a little bit of luck, I will be facing my parents in the audience next month with my head up high when I receive my diploma.
