Getting There

Pithy takes pause, amid sporadic bouts of breathless panic where we wonder how we will balance the next fifteen weeks of too many classes, way too much reading and too little sleep--fifteen weeks of staring at a page, at a screen, at a professor--our eyes move but should not be mistaken as signs of life--fifteen weeks of calls, skipped meals, and the imminent pressing in of the snow...we take pause to remind ourselves that it's been a year. Overwhelming is just part of the package, as is the sense of satisfaction for completion and the knowledge that the fifteen weeks will end, and when they do we will be able to say that we made it, that it was worth it, and that we're one step closer to obtaining our super-hero suit and moving on to our mission impossible. We'll get there...watch out.
