A Stressful Time of Year

This has been such a strange week. 35 minute classes should make the days seem faster than normal, but I have talked with several students this week who all agreed that this week has felt incredibly slow. Just 2 more days until the weekend... and for those of you who might be counting, just 11 days until Spring Break! :-)

This can be a stressful time of year, particularly for the seniors who are still awaiting admissions decisions from colleges. While waiting is difficult, I would like to point out that it could always be worse... you could have received a notification that you had been accepted only to find out that the college made a mistake and you were really not accepted. It seems like this has happened every year for the last few years and this year is no exception. Here are two stories of this taking place this year:



I cannot imagine how disappointed and frustrated these students must have felt as their acceptances were reversed. Hopefully none of you will be faced with that situation.
