"Alright guys, take a knee..."

So as of today I'm officially halfway through my college career. Tonight marks my last night on curfew. I'm done with finals. By God's grace, I survived. I told someone tonight that I feel exactly like how I did during football right after we finish my least favorite part of practice-- laps. We would run about a mile to two miles just to warm up, and when you come back from doing laps, you're so tired but so excited because you know the hard stuff (running) is over and the fun stuff (tackling and hitting on the freshmen) is about to start. It's the same way right now-- finals are over and summer can begin.

I am soooooo excited about this summer. I've got a whole stack of books to read. I'm looking forward to planning WOW and taking some extra classes. I'm stoked about continuing to go to my Bible study.

I'm gonna miss my friends, though. A lot. I will be praying for them and eagerly awaiting their return.

Once I got into high school, I developed this pattern of looking back at the end of each schoolyear and evaluating "how I did." Often, I would conclude depressed because I would look back and just be discouraged at the countless ways I failed.

Now I try to look back and not so much focus on what I did or didn't do, but on what God has done.... and He's done a lot....

But right now I just realized that I've got to pack up my room, so I'll write more on what God has done later...

adios.
