Getting Even Closer

There's a common saying you all have heard, and probably used, which goes somewhere along the lines of, "Everything seems so much closer on this Xmas." Or "Easter." Or "July 4th." Or "Band Finals."

I have a month and a half to turn in my college applications. A few days ago, that deadline seemed miles away. Now, it seems close. Uncomfortably close. College apps aren't the only things coming up fast. There are a number of major projects in civics and German coming up which I wasn't even thinking about a few days ago. Now that band is over, I need to discipline myself in order to get all these things done, and done well.

So that's my resolution for the next couple months: Get things done with excellence.
