Umph

Monday for FHE we went swimming at the college pool. On a blackboard there was a little quote it said something like Triumph is only acheived when you give it your Best Try and then add a little "Umph". I have thought back on that a couple times this week, mostly because this week has been a challenge all in itself. The end of the semester is coming to an end, there are three weeks left, and its that time in the semester where all the teachers conspire against you to give you as many assignments, projects and papers to complete as possible. And of course there are all those final tests to look forward too. I think of a semester as a race, the first few months and tests are the first few laps in the race, where if you keep a constant pace and keep up your doing great, then you get to that last lap where its all or nothing, its when your legs start burning and you think there is no way you will reach the finish line and you have to put in that extra umph to get there. Which is just like finals, you have been preparing for it, and you know its coming but it still takes you by suprise how hard it is. But when its all over you feel so good!! Thats what I'm waiting for right now.. that accomplished feeling at the end of the race. I took a test today for my reproduction class, it went pretty well even though it was alot harder than any of the other tests we have be given this semester. And now im getting ready to do the extra night-before studying for my evolution test tomorrow morning. Im just ready for summer to begin...
