Wow, its already May? One minute it was September, and everyone was asking “How was your summer?” and now we’re looking forward to the next one. But within a week there is so much to do. No wonder it appears as if us millennials are moving at 100 miles a minute. In the span of finals week some may crank out about 40 pages worth of analysis, while also produce 2 lab reports, and take two three hour exams. But also pack up their entire room to be shipped halfway across the country and still save time to procrastinate…But wait, don’t you have to sleep at some point? And eat? Eh, that’s what 5 hour energy is for, and the Grill delivers, so those can be compromised. After a long year of hard work, learning and activity there’s nothing like finals week to really test our multi tasking skills. It is the grand finale of each year to be able to round up everything we’ve learned one last time.

 

For me, and for the Word of the Day, this blog in some ways serves as the “grand finale” and I wanted to acknowledge that kind of termination of sorts. This was my first blog ever, and in all honesty I’ve really enjoyed the experience of putting my words out there on what I’d like to think of as a digital journal of sorts. It’s nice to see the feedback through comments and while I know it was a requirement to comment, people were really responsive to some of the posts. Without attempting to sound cliche, and perhaps even following my research project, participating on the blog really felt like being part of a community.
