As we were talking at chick-fil-a, both our minds seemed to be on other things. With finals and summer coming to an end we commented on how we were both burned out. We talked about the mounds of studying we needed to do before this week concluded, much of which I still haven't started... Brandon and I talked a little bit about what work we haven't started but that conversation was drowned out pretty quickly to the exhaustion experienced when thinking about class.
Brandon's final exams seemed a lot harder than mine. He had one in all of his classes and he was going to be tested on all five days of final exam week, rough. I couldn't imagine that. He also highlighted the fact how hard he has been studying, it seems as if it has been a month in progress, preparing for these exams. This thought made me realize and reflect on my own work ethic. Have I ever prepared for a test a month in advance? No. A week? I don't even know if I can say yes to that question... This made me come to realization about myself that my own problems may be due to how I approach them originally.
Overall, this conversation with Brandon was very short the other day. We didn't feel like we had to stay long, almost like a quick coffee with a friend. Brandon has taught me a lot this year; more than he'll know. He has helped me alter my look on life, society, and myself. He made me realize certain things that I was previously blinded to. This relationship has helped me open my eyes to problems in the world as well as my life and potential solutions. This sense of mentorship is one that I cherish greatly and I believe will continue on through our careers at TCU as Brandon and I attack the business school next year together.
