Hello Everyone!
It's been a very tough last couple weeks at the Hurst. My grandma unfortunately passed away last Saturday and I was home all of this past week with my family at the family time and the funeral. It's never fun to have to go home for something like that, but it was of course great to see my family. I'm very used to attending funerals and such, because that is what my dad does for a living; he is a funeral director. So growing up all around death I'm very used to, but when it's a family member it's so much different and of course you feel differently about things. For everyone that has ever wondered how you can manage to miss a week of class when a family death occurs and you're still at school, I can explain. It is not as bad as some may think it is, but it also depends on your professors. I actually have some really great professors that understood my situation completely. I was able to make up the test that I missed on Monday and hand in a paper late. The make up work is never the good part, because I'm flailing around like a chicken with my head cut off all around campus now. But it is also the last week of classes and I have to start getting ready for finals and write my huge literature review paper (which is 20 pages long). I'm very ready to just go home and not do anything, except work and make some hard earned money which I'm really needing right about now. So there is only 1 quiz, a literature review paper, and 3 finals that is stopping me from starting my spring break right now.
So this will probably be my last post until Spring term finally is upon us here at the Hurst. So I hope everyone is excited for it to start as well, there are many many amazing things that are going to be happening here and I will share every single little detail.
CARPE DIEM!
