One Down, Three To Go

Anica Graney

     It’s a brand spanking new quarter, folks! Two months have come and gone since the beginning of the year, and within that time we saw the temperature drop fifty degrees, all of the homecoming festivities happen, and all of the fall sports come to a close. To any of the freshmen reading this, you’ve got about fifteen more of these to go; good luck! As for everyone else, we know the drill as for what is coming up: holiday breaks, scraping frost off of windows, snow days, icy roads, and exams. All inevitabilities that we will have to face within the next few months.
     Second quarter is the last half of the first semester and can make or break grades because, let’s be honest, first quarter is mostly review and beginner lessons that ease everyone into what the class is about. This is not the case for second quarter. Now is when everyone must buckle down and hold onto their grade for dear life and hope that the exam won’t be too bad. Second quarter is also known for breaks off of school. We’ve got ten days of vacation just this quarter which includes Thanksgiving and winter break, so at least everyone will have that to look forward to along with the possible snow days. Keep getting after it, Hillmen; only three more quarters to go!
