Phew. I have had so much to do this week, I don't even know where to start. I've been working on two papers (one in another language), studying for a test, and trying to keep up with my normal reading load. However, I keep trying to remind myself that I have a lot of fun things planned for this weekend, and that I get to go home on Tuesday! I can't wait to go home for a few days, hang out with family, and rest from a stressful first semester.
What about you guys? Are you looking forward to the break as much as am?

Where has the time gone?
It hit me today that my first semester of college is almost over. Yes, it does seem like I have done enough school work to last me a lifetime; but at the same time, move-in-day doesn't seem like it was almost three months ago. How has time gone by so quickly?
Maybe, it is because of all the school work I have. I am constantly busy doing my homework, finishing projects, and studying for various things, while at the same time maintaining a social life. Or, perhaps the college lifestyle is just fast-paced in general. Most college graduates I talk to tell me that their college years sped by so fast, and a lot of fourth year students say that first year doesn't seem that long ago.
Because of this, I am trying to savor my college experience, but at the same time, I feel guilty for wanting it to go by quickly so I can be done with school.
What do you all think? Has this semester sped by for you? Do you want your college experience to go by quickly?

Assassins!
Today, my dorm started playing Assassins, and it has been quite interesting so far. For those of you who are not familiar with this game, it consists of everyone having a target. Each person playing must kill his or her target by hitting them with a sock. However, each person also tries not to get hit. To avoid getting hit, there are crazy immunities, like wearing two different shoes; basically, anything humiliating can be an immunity.
Today, our immunity is wearing anything that has the UVA logo of the "V" and the sabres on it. While the game has been fun so far, everyone has become paranoid about not getting hit. It's like we can't even be comfortable in our own dorm at the risk of being assassinated.
What do you all think? Does this game sound like fun, or do you think it just adds to our stress as college students?
