The students of Dalat are bombarded with
assignments once again as the school year approaches its cyclical finish line.
Projects, tests, quizzes, and assignments appear united on the schedules of
every student’s agenda. With fine arts, AP exams, and other major events in the
horizon, stress manifests itself in a new light; it brings a new ray of despair
into the monotonous lives of the students of this fine facility.
The week is packed with weight bearing
obligations, and it is not forgetting to restrict breathing during the weekends
as well. AP test takers are quite ready for the end.
And drama students participating in the school
play have already payed the deposits for their metaphorical houses in the
faraway mountains. A whole Saturday flies by as the drama llamas spend the
entire day slaving away at their lines. From the crack of dawn to the heat of
the afternoon, lines are repeated again and again until it has been ingrained
in the brains of these drama students.
Above all this madness, college applications loom
in the horizon. Sarah Tan (12), a busy student, says, “this is definitely one
the busiest times of the year, balancing APs, ExCom, and college decisions, and
it's been extremely easy to lose motivation, but as Mr. Mahoney advises, we all
need to focus on ‘finishing well.’”
It has really been a tough and stressful week.
With their noses stuck in their books, the students of Dalat will be trapped in
the storm of stress until the end of the semester.
