When the going gets tough...

It's noon on Wednesday, the 12th of December.
I've got a French final in two hours, followed immediately by a Calc final.

This week has been passing at an incredibly slow pace.
I'm not stressed for these finals. I'm not freaking out or wishing I had more time. I'm ready. I just want them to be done so I can go home.

But I'm doing alright. I've been making it through.
What keeps me going when I just want to give up?

• Pictures of Charlie that my mom keeps sending me.
• Random text messages from my dad, wishing me luck.
• Study breaks with Gel.
• Looking forward to our Secret Santa exchange on the 22nd.
• Fil's blog posts.
• Facebook messages from Sarah and Fatima telling me they got a bunch of notifications from Lauren.
• Tea and music.
• Making plans for break.
• Looking forward to my bed.
• Text messages from Bradley.
• C-Store runs for random study-necessities.

I'm ready for break. That's for sure.

But I'm doing alright, here. Hangin' on...
