Personally, the blue section should be larger



The thought of my 2nd semester containing a majority of classes that begin at 2pm excites and scares me. Sure, my Thursday class starts at 8am and ends at noon, but that's also my last class. I have one online class, but besides Thursday, on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday, I have just one class at 2pm. I count my blessings at the thought of all of the free time that may be had - it's practically like I don't even attend college. This could potentially be bad, because the procrastination will only set in that much more rapidly.

I can't even speak correctly and I have a standardized test in 7 days that will test my verbal usage, mathematical abilities, and scientifical prowess. I have never feared an SAT stylized test as much as this, while at the same time underestimating the capacity it can test me on. The practice book makes it seem like child's play, but I suppose it's luring me into a false sense of security so I epic fail all over the place - this is all for the grand purpose of causing me heartache and ruination of my Christmas cheer/holiday.

"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children." (Pablo Picasso)
