Let the Countdown Begin...

For the past few weeks, video games have become irrelevant. Now it's time to buckle down and get our work done. Of the six of us girls, five of us are seniors...and seniors with intense cases of senioritis. We all have our own things that are keeping us busy. Four of the girls have boyfriends that fill their time. Anne has rugby and her constant rugby parties. I spend most of my time hanging out with my close friend, Christian. There isn't time for video games, only time for homework parties and dinner.

The stress of our upcoming graduation is looming over all of our heads. We're trying to be good and not give in to the pressure of what lies ahead of us in the very near future, but it's difficult. The stress is causing our boiling points to rise and as the end of our undergraduate college careers gets here faster and faster, we are becoming easily annoyed by the little things. Nothing serious, but fights won't be easily avoidable with the high amount of pressure being placed upon the five of the six of us girls.

Last night we took a breather, a nice night to forget homework and other friends and spend the day catching up. The six of us took a walk to Bev's for ice cream. Being outside in the fresh Oswego air, taking in the breeze and enjoying every second that we had with each other helped each of us to relax. While we were walking, we talked about planning a family day, a trip to Alliance Bank Stadium for a Sky Chiefs game, the perfect way to take our mind off of the impending separation.

For now, video games, even though they can sometimes prove to be a definite way to de-stress, have taken a back seat to homework and valuable time with the girls before we all must say our goodbyes. Only a month left until graduation...
