I distinctly recall the college semesters in Spring. They were filled with a number of challenges. They moved far quicker than anyone would have liked; it seemed that as soon as it started, it was midterm time. And we were almost immediately preparing for the next year as soon as the semester began.

Moving to the quarter system is enough of transition - though I feel like it's becoming more natural each quarter. When I graduate, I'll probably be sad about leaving it! But when the Winter quarter started in January (on the 2nd - yikes!), I had to keep reminding myself that it was not the Spring. It was definitely a different experience. Frankly, I don't know how much of a fan I am of the Winter quarter in academia. Something about it creates a lack of motivation. Maybe it came from having left the "comforts" of home to return to Fuller, just when I was feeling rested having to get back to a grind. But nonetheless, it ended and I was relieved.

So here it is the Spring quarter, and here I am again, experiencing the joys of Spring quarter/semester-dom. As soon as I arrived back to campus, campaigning and elections for the school's All-Seminary Council began. Here we go again. I swear, to feel like I have constancy in my life for more than a week would be delightful. Such is life, right?

The other problem I mentioned in regard to the Spring semester was it moving too quickly. Yeah, that clearly is still an issue for me, as I swear yesterday was April 2nd. Yeah, it's not! Time flies when you're having fun - or stressed out - or just busy. I think I'm choosing to blame the Spring quarter, though.
