After a grueling thirteen weeks of I-Core classes, Cameron took his last final this morning at 8 a.m. It wasn't just the early waking time that he had this semester that made it his toughest one yet, but the heavy load of classes, the internship with the athletic department, his job as a TA, being a director on Student Athletic Board and interviewing for summer internships that had completely wore him out. I was extremely proud of him for finishing strong as I knew last weekend, he was ready to throw in the towel. Cameron wouldn't find out the grades for his finals until next week but felt confident that the worst that he would finish with was a 3.7. He still had a case study to complete when he returned, but that would be easy in comparison to the classes.
It hadn't quite dawned on Cameron that he was done with the hardest part of his semester when I picked him up at the Orlando airport this evening, but the closer that we got to Ocala the happier he became. I listened to Cameron talk about everything that had been going on in his life these past few months and was glad to hear that he did have several fun activities planned after break like attending the IU-Purdue football game and going out for a steak dinner with Cora to celebrate their one-year anniversary. By the time we arrived home, Cameron was ready to have a small celebration of his own entitled "Thank God, I made it to Thanksgiving break." Fortunately, I had the cooler stocked with beer and seltzers for him so that we could toast his achievements and finally relax. It was a wonderful way to end a looooonnnngggg thirteen weeks.
