senioritis

As I might have mentioned (well definitely mentioned) before, I have an extreme case of "senioritis" this semester. Wen attributes it to the fact that I didn't have a chance to slack off during my last semester of undergrad, I was taking too many courses. I have discussed and promised myself that I really would buckle down this semester and be the devoted student that I have been in semesters past, but it just doesn't seem to be working for me. My lack of motivation continues to rear its ugly head.

But something quite wonderful happened this morning...with respect to my senioritis, that is. My professor decided to offer a curve for our last two assignments...moving my current grade more solidly into "A" range. While I obviously need to continue "working" on my schoolwork for the rest of the semester, things are starting to look up. I need to earn 30 more points to earn credit for the class...which is certainly do-able, I think even if I get a 50% on every assignment I turn in before the end of the semester.

Outside of working on Saturday in the office and coming home to complete a group paper (ugh...I HATE group papers), we managed to have quite a nice weekend. Easter morning was just as leisurly as I had hoped and the girls really enjoyed finding all of the eggs that the Easter bunny had hidden. After breakfast, we headed down to the family room to try out the girls new princess wii game. The game is still a little too tricky for the girls to do alone (it requires that you use both the wii remote and the nunchucks) but it seems to be something fun that the entire family can do together. After we had played enough wii, we all relaxed and watched Pinocchio. We missed out on our "traditional" hike in favor of laziness.

I have a busy week ahead of me. I leave tomorrow for two nights of college fairs. I'm going with Brian, so of course it won't be all work and should make the week feel as though it flies by, especially since we have the last day of DT on Friday. Then, Saturday brings the weekend of 1st birthdays, first to York to celebrate Ella and then to Quakertown to celebrate Owen! Luckily, next week looks nice and relaxed (eventhough it is the last week before my big group paper is due).
