college... yeah, i can't wait to get out of high school... but do i really want to leave and go to college... that is the question. Yeah papers stink... especially when every teacher decides to give you either a paper or a final and they are all due within a week of each other... life gets really stressful... especially when you have to write a paper in a different lanquage. I hate school!!! but soon it will be Chirstmas break and they will be all turned in... Oh however there are exciting things, like finishing my last math lession ever and I am only a senior in high school... I am sorry to all of you who are going to have to take it in college...

I just remembered, at the end of my first semester of college, what it's like to really want to learn something, for the sake of learning, because I know that it's ultimately good for me in the end, that it pays off.

This semester, I acted like a senior in high school instead of a college student, who is eager to really do his best. Consequently, I skipped reading assignments and delayed papers to only just get and pass by... Well, I blame it partly on having everything thrown at you at once when you're a freshman, but I am persevering, thanks to His grace and Our Lady's prayers. Also, because of the community I found in CL.

All I have to say is that you must persevere through senior year! The strains are high but so are the rewards. Savor every moment... the prom, graduation, the teachers you've known for so long, the friends you've known for so long. Pray about it too.

When you get to college, there will be temptations to leave, but you just have to do it. I sympathize with you completely! Senior year was crazy for me. Partly due to dealing with growing up, and also partly due to laziness.

Ora et labora! Pray and work!

I pray foryou and you pray for me, ok? We're in this together.

Yesterday, Saturday, I had my first final of finals week. It was horribly terrible. It was in Thermodynamics for Engineers. I had a 97% going into the final. I had to get a 70 to keep an A and a 30 to keep a B. Right now, I'm hoping for better than a 30. I was only able to get an answer on 2 of the 6 problems. But oh well, I just can't wait for this semester to be over, I'm sick of taking 20 credits a semester for the last 4 semesters. I'm cooling it down to 13 credits next semester, it'll be awesome!! But before then is Christmas break and I get to go Home! And I'm sick of studying so I'm going snowboarding tommorow! Good Luck in all your classes also.

God Bless,
Ryan
