After a grueling two weeks of studying, I am finally finished my final exams. All four of them went rather well. I was especially happy with my multimedia course. I managed to grasp a firm understanding of all the concepts in the course. My last exam was on Saturday and to top it off, my friend Steph threw a Christmas party that night. We definitely got spoiled as she spent all day baking tons of delicious treats.
I am now trying to think of ways to spend my few days off until I start work on the 4th. I have managed to keep busy the first few days by doing all my Christmas shopping. My dad, sister and I are headed up to Pemberton on the 24th to spend Christmas with our Aunt, Uncle and cousins. I'm hoping the roads stay clear so that my little Nissan Altima can make it up the Sea to Sky safely.
In other news, Pendulum is coming to Vancouver on February 22nd to play a show at the Commodore. Check them out. I'm really excited for this show.

Crunch Time
Now begins the grueling two weeks that is final exam period. I think I can speak on behalf of most students when I say that this is easily the hardest part of any semester. Usually we have to scramble until the last minute to finish up final projects, then once they are complete we must instantly start reviewing all of the material covered over the last 4 months.
The part I find hardest is staying focussed for the whole two weeks. The first few days is not that bad, but near the end my will power is usually completely depleted. To make things more enjoyable, I usually get sick around exam time, and this semester is no different. I`m just coming off of a brutal head cold. I`m glad it hit early on during finals because my harder exams will be closer to the end.
There is a light at the end of this long dark tunnel: Winter vacation. That and the fact that I won`t have any classes for 8 months as I will be doing a Co-op work term with Elasticpath. Remembering this can replenish my drive to work hard, but also can serve as a distraction as I will often stop working and daydream about all the free time I will soon have.
An update on how exams went will be coming in two weeks when I am free!
