…semesters, that is. With two semesters left, I guess I'm kind of, sort of technically a senior…and I'm wondering if this means I'm entitled to senioritis? I'll keep you posted on that bit, as I'm sure some of my readers can relate to it.
It's becoming more real that college doesn't go on forever; the end is in sight--and soon…exactly one year. Especially with as fast as this semester went, I know that the next two will go just as quickly, if not more so.
I thought as my last blog entry of the regular semester, I'd give you a highlight of the most important things I've learned over the past months. In no particular order:
-some of the most important lessons come outside the classroom. these include balance, cooking skills, knowing when to call it a day, and realizing it's okay to be a little ridiculous sometimes.
-never, ever start laundry at 1:00 AM.
-policy is the enormously complicated output of so many processes and considerations and compromises.
-being not-pre-med is a good life choice for me.
-Justice Scalia writes very interesting dissents. they're actually fun to read sometimes.
-all of our food is probably contaminated.
-I will never, ever, no matter how hard I try, be able to wrap my brain around statistics. it does not make sense to me. at all.
-there is no such thing as an easy class. if it seems easy from the start, there is invariably some sort of twist or turn. on that note, you get out what you put into it. a class is infinitely more useful if you are engaged and do the assigned readings.
-baked goods are a great way to make friends.
-time flies when you're having fun.
-no matter how hard you try, you cannot fit more hours into a day. work with what you've got.
My apologies for the lack of blogging lately. Finals kind of consumed me and I spent more time studying than sleeping, making all other priorities fall completely to the side. But I'm home as of a few hours ago! So I'm hoping I can manage to squeeze in some more blogging in between my naps, movies, and knitting. In the mean time, I'll leave you with this picture of my two dogs (one of them just shows up as a black blur) who were trying to win my attention while I was writing this. To be fair, I was sitting on the floor.
