The End is Near

Two days left of classes. Two days! That's it! I am really looking forward to summer and leaving the caf behind for lots of grilled food! The warm weather we've had over the weekend has made it difficult to sit down and finish up the lingering assignments. Finding motivation to study for finals will not be an easy task with the sun shining and the birds chirping.

Thankfully I'll have a bit of a break from classwork and studying when we have our conference track meet this Friday and Saturday at Wartburg. I know there will be some fantastic performances. I'll be racing the 10K Friday evening, and am really looking forward to it. The distance will suit me well, but it'll be a lot different running that far on a track. I've only raced a 10K in a road-race, but I'm sure this will be awesome running under the lights and with my teammates. It's hard to believe that this is the end of the track season already. In January when we were beginning practice I thought that the season would be endless with both indoor meets and outdoor meets. But in reality, it has flown by- just like the rest of the year. Like the saying goes, time flies when you're having fun!

This year has been everything I hoped college would be, and more. I've made lots of friends and memories. It will be hard saying good-bye to everyone, especially the seniors, but we're already making plans to get together over the summer. If this year is any indication of how the rest of my time at Luther will be, I am really looking forward to coming back!
