After spending a rather stressful week memorizing scenes and catching up on homework, it was nice to hang out with my friend and head to Tigard to Sweet Tomatoes. Sweet Tomatoes (what’s called Souplantation back where I live in Southern California) is one of my favorite places to eat and reminded me just how close I am to returning back home. I have such interesting feelings as to me leaving…seeing as though things are getting more stressful, there still is a collective sense among students of happiness as the sun is out and a lot of events are also going on. First, there was the Luau and then Wildstock in which the musical acts Ready Set and Outasight played. Life is definitely more exciting academically and socially as people are trying to work their hardest over these next week to have all their work pay off. It’s definitely an interesting environment to see and be a part of.
Ultimately, for me, only having one final does make things much easier on myself. I still have a scene and two monologues to memorize (the scene I’ll have to memorize by tomorrow!) so I’ll definitely still be busy like everyone else. I do hope that I’ll be able to get it together by tomorrow and at least have a majority of the lines memorized. If not, I just know I’ve tried my hardest so I’m not going to overstress myself about it. Overall, I’m ready for the summer but am so happy for all I have had here and am so glad to have my first year of college spent at Linfield.
