I'll be home for Christmas

So, I AM home for Christmas, and it's very good to be back.

I think, over all, this semester was a success. So, what have I learned so far?

I do not like having classes after four in the afternoon. I do not like having classes back to back when they are located across campus from each other. Lunches with friends are fun, but they take more time. Studying in my dorm room allows for many distractions. Studying in the Student Center leads to buying food I don't need. Studying in the library always ends early. Make time for God, for friends, and for morning coffee. Call home often, just to chat. Make to-do lists, but be flexible.

And never, for one second, think you've got it under control, because that's exactly when everything falls apart.

I made it out alive. Actually, relatively unscathed. Classes haven't gone straight over my head yet, and time management hasn't failed. So, that's that. I'm one/eighth of the way there.
