Lessons Learned

This has been quite the year. Only one more week of classes, plus finals week, and I am free (sort of)!!! There have definitely been some downs this year, but it has had its share of ups as well. For instance - I was able to go home last week and celebrate my mom's birthday with her. We spent the majority of her birthday outside at a park, and it was glorious. I'm so glad I was able to be with her. The rest of the weekend was great as well - a lot of family time. Friday was mostly with mom, Saturday night I went out to dinner and to my high school's musical with my parents, and then Sunday night I went to dinner and a movie with my parents and my brother. It was a great weekend and I really needed it. Anyway...

I have definitely learned a lot this year, both in the classroom and especially out of it. One of the things I've realized is that I take many things for granted, and I really want that to change. As the year draws close I hope I'm able to make that change. I'm so excited to get out of here and will be leaving the second my last final is over, but I just hope that I don't take this last week and a half for granted. After I'm home for summer I will write more and devote more time to sharing how I've grown this year, but I just wanted to post something new. I've neglected this thing this year, so thanks to those who still check it! Anywho, I'm on the home stretch...the end is almost here!
