River Adventures

Ah, final exams, what could be better? Truthfully, I think I've had more fun this past week than I have any other week I've been attending school! All the freedom from having no classes or exams until this morning has stirred up feelings of ecstacy. Most of the stress has alleviated now that my classes are over and all that remains are the dreaded final exams. It's so relieving, however, to have time for spontaneous trips to the river or play ultimate frisbee or just be with friends you won't see until next year.


Texas weather being amazingly tropical for December, I spent both yesterday and today in the sun by two different rivers. Yesterday I left my room to study for my anatomy final, but was distracted by Derek and Collin. We ended up throwing a frisbee around and inviting more people to come join us, ultimately crushing my intentions of studying. Not that any extra time spent studying anatomy would have improved my knowledge on this incredibly difficult subject. Studying is highly overrated; I never studied, much less remembered the dates, for my tests in high school and managed to maintain an impressive GPA each year. I think everyone in college will agree with me when I say that some classes are just too demanding.
After my test this morning, another sense of euphoria set in. After experimenting with blogging add-ons and lunch with Michael, a trip to a different river followed. Corrie, Michael, and I went to Five Mile Dam, possibly the most interesting place in all of San Marcos. And with that, I think I should probably end because any attempt to recount that event would leave us all stunned.
As always, your procrastinator,
