Good Day, Sunshine

It's been bea-u-ti-FUL for a past week or two here at Syracuse. The temperature has ranged from around 67-80 degrees and hasn't been humid at all. It's so nice to just lay outside in the quad and not think about final projects and exams. It's almost like meditating- clearing everything out of your mind and taking a breather. Now that I think about it, this past winter was fairly a warm one. We didn't get a tremendous amount of snow or had that bad of wind chills. This winter was kind of like winter back at home- home for me is Long Island by the way. I don't know if I'm just being positive because the semester is coming to an end but I really, really loved my sophmore year. I loved all the classes I took, the illustration professors I met, the new friends I made, the WEATHER of course (especially now), and even the struggles I went through. Syracuse is definately my second home and has become a great comfort zone. Though it is comfortable here, I still feel like there are many new things to discover and and new paths to take. In terms of my career, I still don't know what I want to become but I think taking many classes according to my major gave me a certain path to follow. At least, now I know what direction I'm walking towards. Even though I'm super happy and positive now, I'm sure that I'm going to go back to my dorm and cry over the million artwork that must be completed in the next week and a half. But "s`all good"... the extra stretch is always the hardest but the most memorable part of the semester. I decided that I'm going to enjoy the next two final weeks.
