recap
ok, wow, thats over and im home. craziness. my last exam this morning was challenging, but its in the past and now its Christmas time in Royston! since i've had a lot of quiet, relaxed time this past week, ive had tons of time to reflect. It's been kinda nice. I've been thinking how i've really enjoyed this term and i've learned a lot, even though some weeks i wanted to crawl into a whole.
from an academic side, my physics class taught me how to do a back flip on the ground, and my paul class taught me tons of insightful and useful things about way back when and how to apply it to today. that class taught me how to think for myself and helped me realize that i do have a brain that i should use more often. i've learned that confidence levels really affect performance. if i believe im a loser, i act like a loser. if i believe i can succeed and am determined, then it takes a lot to bash me to the ground. i learned that im so much like a sheep (this could make for a whole article), and i like being like sheep. its humbling and comforting. i've learned how to trust other females and the importance of investing in others lives. i've learned how to better work with others and depend on others for some things. independence isn't always best. we were made for community and need that. i've gotten to experience the amazingness of growing close with my college christian family, and i'm beginning to realize how much more effort i need to put forth in developing relationships with my blood family and Christian family, and reaching out to non-Christians.
The value of a smile, encouraging word, letter, and a hug is basically priceless
football is the best sport ever!
wearing closetoed shoes and socks in 30 degrees is not a sin
im a fan of movies and reading, when the books and movies are actually well done
hot chocolate with marshmallows, cool whip, chocolate kisses, and sprinkles are some of the best inventions ever!
I've been able to watch the amazingness other peoples lives develop and mature, and realize that i too am changing. i've become less afraid of change, and actually learned to embrace it with excitement.
openmindedness will take you far, but some things never need to change
i have a lot to learn, and being able to be totally open and honest with true friends is one of the biggest blessings ever! knowing i have friends who love me and dont cry when i talk to them, even though i can say some of the dumbest things ever, is immensly comforting.
im so glad i never have to be a high schooler again in my life!
ive learned that im longwinded and should stop writing for now.
merry christmas and till next time,
and oh yeah, my view on Christmas this year is a bit different and im still wrangling with it, and im glad its altering
wanna know something crazy? santa and satan are spelled with the same letters and both are associated with red. interesting huh?
ok, im done now
have a great one, and treasure life's secrets
