All spring break I've been happy and I've been thinking about what spring break is and the push that's left until summer. Today is the final respite before the final push of my sophomore year, and naturally I use it to write about the important things that come to mind.
Spring break is a much needed break. I was running low on the fuel needed to complete the tasks school requires day in and day out and then finally there was spring break, giving me a chance to refuel and just be happy. Not only is spring break a much needed break, but it is a preview. Spring break is a preview of what is now within sight, summer. It's like a warm up to summer. The weather is warming up, there's less school work and time in school to be thinking about, and you are finding time to spend with friends and family. It's a little piece of a toned down summer put into early April and it's definitely enough to make you smile and be thankful. And this year the last day is a beautiful day and a wonderful holiday. My Easter was great food, nice gifts, family time, and the powerful reminder that my mom survived cancer. A great way to end a great week.
Now is also a day to look towards the future. Over the next two months plus we will be in school consistently for the fourth quarter. We are tired, we are fed up with school, we had summer dangled under our noses for the past week and now we want it all, but it's going to take a final clutch fourth quarter push before we can celebrate the arrival of summer. Even the first week is going to be a very tough challenge with most of us doing a research paper, and that's what most of this marking period will be: a challenge. The tough ones won't crack, the tough one's will still look toward the A's and say that's what I will get. Be a tough one, don't crack, and it will be well worth it come summer.
I hope everyone had a great break, now let's finish off this year strong and celebrate summer together.
