It’s 5:30 AM, I have been up since 9:30 this morning, and I still have to finish my final for one of my classes and email it this morning. It’s times like this that I sometimes like to take a step back and realize what an incredible time in my life this is. Yes, it sucks being up all night, and yes, I hate writing finals, and yes, I hate being in the darkroom all night finishing up prints for my portfolio submission later tonight. However, within the midst of looming deadlines and growing stress, there is a small voice that says, “one day you will look back on this time and wish with all your heart you could be there again.” I know it sounds crazy, but I think one day when I’m sitting on my back porch drinking lemonade as a ripe 70 or 80 year old man, God willing, I will think back on these crazy times and wish I could stay up all night just to get a final done, or have the energy to mat 25 prints in one night while seeing ghosts due to sleep deprivation. I guess I realized this evening as I pulled my car up to school at 2:00 AM to start printing that I need to be more thankful for what I have here and now. So I say to you finals week of Fall 2006, give me your best shot, for in a little while it will all be over along with the rest of my waning college career.
