Don't Forget to Remember...

Today was the last day of classes for this fall semester. It really feels like the semester has just started, and in many ways, the lessons that I have begun to learn are still with me. When I first sat down to write this, I was positive I would be able to sum up a semester in one word, yet, upon further review, I cannot. Below are listed a few of what I think are the best memories from this semester.
-Surviving and eventually thriving in Early American Political Thought
~perhaps the hardest class I've ever taken and definitely the most boring
-The Importance of Being Earnest
~Ok Crew! Finding the courage to try out when I didn't even want a part, initially.
-Making new friends and strengthening relationships with old ones
~JILL BUSSE!!!!, Justin Jones, Katie Walton, Allison Stephens, and of course Brandi, Morgan...
-Taking long walks in the park with a friend at night
~Wednesday night venting sessions with Lydia
-Falling on my face and picking back up
~Checking my e-mail instead of working, etc.
-Realizing how frail life really is
~Great car flipping ordeal, where the only thing that died was La Honda
-Learning that my actions have consequences, good or bad
~well, learning that lesson from my good friends who cannot be left alone...

~Still brings a tear to my eye

~Mandy Dunford, got to love that girl!
-It is true to have "loved and lost than to have never loved at all"
~Relationships are a gift and a curse

-Sending Lydia on Band Tour and helping set up the exercise disaster
~Filling a duffel bag with Immodium AD and Peanut Butter
-Watching good friends like Stephanie Davis, Katy Vangen, and others as they prepare for life
~You are so fun and such an example! I'll miss you forever!!
-Winning Spirit Week
~And to think we captured the President
-The first chapel with the I-Pres.
~Kudos to Dr. Oats for restoring unity to the Student Body after a difficult summer
-Writing an extra paper for Dr. Saxon, and turning it in
~Overachiever or Dumb Blond?
All in all A Great Semester! I'll see you back here next January, or whenever the Lord chooses to bring us together again!
