A Busy Week at The Gatton Academy

“Should I study for my tests?”

“What if I watched an episode of the Office?”

Questions like these are what many seniors, including myself, are asking every day. Even though we have almost completed four years of high school, many of us are still not professionals at managing our time proficiently. We have heard from multiple sources that there is a deadly disease that spreads among seniors: senioritis.

With four tests, a paper, and a research meeting last week, I definitely had to manage my time. It felt as if as soon as I was done with one test, I would have to study all day for the next. But honestly, the feeling I felt on Friday when I completed my final test was one of pure joy. A group of friends and I took the bus to the mall and the movies and just had a good, relaxing time. It was a break, a break from a tiresome week of monotonous tests and quizzes. That is what I love about Gatton, how after a long week of tests, you can just have a good time with some of the nicest people ever.

Also, last Friday I had the treat of attending a lecture by my Neuroscience professor and a WKU art professor on combining the arts with neuroscience. She showed us many of her pieces, including a giant neuron cloud located in Snell Hall. Not only did I receive bonus points for attending, but I had a wonderful time.
