Home Stretch

I went to a seminar last Saturday and the speaker mentioned the importance of celebrating little things. So here goes:

1. I grew a beard strand. This brings me to a total of 5!

I successfully made it to the end of a trying week (I guess you could put that as #2) which included tests, papers, presentations and homework. There are a few more weeks left of school, which is a good thing - it's like running a 400m and coming out of that bend with the wind ripping against you. I think that it can't get much worse from here, though it probably will get worse. The brunt of the wave has hit - the mids, the projects, etc - and most of my courses are preparing for the finals. Speaking of which, the draft timetable is up.

But with all these things happening I can safely say that I'm on the home stretch. This home stretch, however, is not a conveyer belt. Sometimes I feel like I'd pass out in my dreams of being on the other side of the line but everytime I begin to lose consciousness I remember that I need to put my back foot foward and keep running. All my athlete friends (and those who almost made it - like me) can identify with this analogy.

So despite all my twisted ankles, aching hamstring, tight chest and pounding heart, I'll keep running.
