You mean I still have to study?

Okay, so I’m writing this to inspire myself. I have to kick it into high gear here, people. I’ve been living in this dreamland where I do a little homework, think about graduation, indulge in melodramatic sadness about leaving my friends, yawn my way through the day, and ignore the fact that I have so much to do I need to go above and beyond.

So… yes. I’m afraid the last week of my college career won’t be full of kite-flying and Gilmore Girls watching. Sadly, I must actually apply myself to these few remaining tasks. Of course, I am definitely going to make time to enjoy being with my friends, but if that’s the case, then I also have to apply myself diligently.

Which means: tonight, I need to get all three of my essays done. Tomorrow, I need to get my research project done. Saturday and Sunday need to be spent studying for my first exam. Monday and Tuesday will be spent finishing up some papers for Tuesday night and studying for my Wednesday exam. Wednesday, I’ll spend some time preparing for my (thankfully low-key) presentation on Thursday. Then I’ll be done! (We won’t mention the fact that I’ll have to spend Thursday packing and cleaning like crazy.)

No more procrastination! I need to finish strong! One more week! I don’t feel like I can do it, but I think I can…

    Hi Anna,

    I thought these verses from Psalm 121 might encourage you for this upcoming week ….

    “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

    My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” - Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV)

    I will be praying for you! God will give you strength and determination - I know how hard it can be to get everything done. It’s easy to get stressed or feel pressured when you have so much to do in such a short time. Hope everything goes well for you! :-)

    I am praying for you, Anna, that you will be motivated by God’s faithfulness, strengthened by His power working in you, encouraged by His love for you, and filled with joy in doing what He has called you to do. I’m cheering you on!
