Today is my last day at Bluffton, well that is before Spring Break. Our Spring Break is next week, and let me tell you, I am ready for it. I had a stark realization today, this will be my last spring break as a student at Bluffton University. Hopefully, I will be able to find a job that will give me an annual spring break as well. :)
This week was hectic for me; however, next week is looking even more hectic. I went to the basketball game on Tuesday night, it was the conference opener and the men's team lost to Anderson. Also this week, I attended a couple of the Grad Week events. One of the events that I attended was an etiquette meal. There I learned how to properly eat food during an interview. It actually was pretty interesting.
This is the first year that I will not be going anywhere for spring break. However, as I previously mentioned, it is going to be a hectic week. I have a ton of homework to do! Granted, some of it isn't due the first day we are back from break, but most is due by the end of the week when we get back, so I figure that I should work on it over break and get a good start on it, if not finish it.
Although I have a lot of homework to do, I am sure that I will be able to enjoy my last spring break as I will be spending it with family and friends back home in Indiana.

Around Campus
Well, as I am sitting at my computer, looking out my window at the wintry day outside, I am reflecting the events that have happened in the last week.
A week ago Wednesday, Student Senate sponsored a white out at the men's last home weekday basketball game. This was a fun event as we gave out approximately 130 white t-shirts to Bluffton students, hot dogs, prizes, etc. It is nice when there is excitement on campus for such events. In case you are wondering, Bluffton beat Anderson in over time.
Last night, we sponsored a "paint the stage pink" night for the women's team. They played Bluffton's rival, Defiance College. Last night, we gave out pink t-shirts, candy, beverages, and of course more prizes. I realized last night that I was at my final home game as an undergrad student at Bluffton University. I can't believe that my four years have gone by so fast!
Anyways, I love the events such as the white out and pink out. Of course, I got two free t-shirts out of the deal, not to mention that they have sweet designs on them. I will definitely miss the crowds of the Bluffton basketball games, the baseball player's pep block, and the smell of popcorn (which I might add, is the best popcorn you will ever get for $0.50...just ask Dan Stanowick :) ).
As a prepare for graduation, I am reminded of all the great times that I have had on campus and all of the great times that I will have in my remaining 2 months here at Bluffton.

Brrrr
Okay, so have I ever mentioned before that I am ready for summer? Well, if not, I am. It is incredibly cold walking around on campus. I am so glad that all of my classes are in the same building this semester. Therefore, I don't have to walk from building to building to go to class.
This week has been stressful so far. I have a paper that is due tomorrow in my CAPSTONE class. Fortunately, my procrastinating skills neglected to show up over the past week, as I had my paper "finished" on Sunday. After having my professor look at it and make a few suggestions and taking it to the Writing Center, I am now ready to make the final 5 or so corrections to the paper and turn it in. Bluffton has a Writing Center. The Writing Center is staffed by English and Writing majors. Students can take their papers to the WC to be proofread. It definitely is a great resource to have on campus.
On top of my paper being due, I had a huge test in my Humanities II class yesterday. It covered a wide range of topics: religious reformations, science and technology reformations, the age of exploration, 17th and 18th century governments, and enlightenment art and literature. After about 10 hours of studying, my mind was definitely fried. However, I think the studying paid off as the test wasn't too bad. I am positive that I missed a few, but am hoping for at least a B+.
My days of studying at the undergraduate level or almost over. I have less than three months until graduation. YIKES!!
