One More Week

Spring break is finally almost here, and the students are showing it. The weather is slowly, but surely, getting nicer. There is starting to be less snow and more mud. The sun is out almost always, and the sun is actually out past 5:00!! That also means that the semester is wrapping up and grades are counting now more than ever.

A lot of students over Spring Break will be heading out on vacation; some because of sports, others with friends to let loose and relax. Unfortunately, like the other students not leaving, I will be working.

This is the time of year that most kids drop the ball and get so excited for break and summer they lose focus on why they are at Thomas. It seems like most kids drop their harder classes around this time too because they realize how late in the year it is and don’t want their GPA to drop. It is the best time to buckle down. Like you, most of your professors are getting Spring Fever and don’t want to be on campus anymore than anyone else does. That means they are irritable!!! Go to class! It's the easiest way to stay on a professor’s good side. If you do need to miss class, email them first because when half the kids don’t show up because it’s the day after St. Patty’s day, your professors will not be impressed.

This is when teachers can separate kids they give the benefit of the doubt to, and the slackers. It could be the deciding factor on whether or not they give you the extra couple points for the B- instead of giving you the C+. Study hard, only a few weeks to go!
