I feel that every semester usually goes the same way for me. I will describe it in GIFs so that it is more fun.
The beginning of the semester is always great because we get to see each other for the first time in a while since most of us go back to our hometowns for break. It is also syllabus week, so we have no responsibilities yet, leaving more time for fun.
This is a couple of weeks into the semester where we have our routines figured out and we are still sticking to them. We are also getting into the meat of our classes and being an academic weapon.
Then we get to the 2-week mark before our break (spring break) for the semester and we are going a little stir-crazy and are in much need of a break.
Then….. it….. SPRING BREAK
Time to let lose and have fun!
Then post-spring break, we are all dying inside wishing we had one more week. we are all trying to get back in the groove of things but it’s getting rough but we have to push through.
Finally, we get to finals week…….not a fun week for anyone.
Valerie, You make me laugh. Wonder what the instructor’s version would be?
This is so real! last semester felt like a drag, especially the last half! I think putting GIFs to our emotions are helpful at least in understanding our general feelings towards the semester, and finding ways that we can make the next one better 🙂
