That time of the year....
When it becomes hard to concentrate, and everything seems to happen at once. It usually starts with my birthday in early may, and ends with the last day of school. At this time, all the students await the end of the year. Everybody is unusually jittery and impatient. The days go by slow but the weeks go by fast, and before you know it its exam week. Teachers seem to give you more quizzes and tests than normal. Then there is the "end of the year syndrome" that seems to occur every year around the same time. Subconsciously, your grades start going down. Your mind is on other things. Students have less patience and tolerance towards each other simply because we have been together for a whole school year already.
However, despite these things, the end of the year is a busy and fun time. The first big storm of the spring (which happened yesterday) had a lot of people outside mudsliding and playing in the rain. The last days of spring sports bring fun activities like cookouts and "field day" practices. For me, my first two goals of the lacrosse season this week were very exciting! Around this time of the year, returning students also select their roommate and dorm for next year. Next year's student council for each grade is voted on, and students start packing their belongings, readying themselves to go home.
As for me, I'm enjoying my last few weeks at the Burg, but I'm definitely looking forward to this summer! ;)
