Final week

Well, this past week has been absolutely crazy with trying to prepare for exams and finishing up classes. Finals week has started and you can almost sense that everyone is on edge. Reflecting on the past few months a lot has happened this semester. School is obviously what has taken priority, but I have also learned so much more than just things from my textbooks. I have learned that being an adult and making adult decisions really aren't as great as its cracked up to be when you're younger. Becoming more and more responsible is required and I feel like I've grown so much as a person these past few months. Applying to vet school, waiting for the results, trouble with dealing with classmates and others in my life has taught me more than I thought I could learn in a short period of time. I feel good about this semester because I feel like I've worked hard and done the best I could so far. As always around this time I begin to stress...which makes me so pleasant to be around (haha). Thankfully I've kept focused this semester and worked hard to be in a good position with my grades before finals. I just hope that all of the preparation I'm putting into these tests will pay off. The thing that started this whole blog, the service learning project, helped me to learn more about myself. I learned that even when you have to do something, like volunteering, and you really don't want to, if you do it you'll benefit from it. I'll be honest and say that I wasn't necessarily excited about having to volunteer during an already stressful semester. But because I made the time and went, I got so much out of it. It helped me to learn to see the perspectives of others before judging their actions or appearance. I know that that has helped me to deal with the people I have had to work with on projects and presentations. I reciceved an email today from Mississippi state that I will receive a response from them on December 21 if I got an interview or not. I hope that I do and I can't wait for what the future holds. I'm ready to graduate and start a new chapter of my life, and hopefully that chapter will be in vet school. I'm thankful for the opportunity that I have gotten to study here at St. Thomas and all of the good things that this school has brought to me. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday break and a very Merry Christmas! I know I can't wait to be home with my family and enjoying all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. I came across this bible verse today and it fits this time in my life perfectly...I think God does that on purpose sometimes :)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....
Hebrews 11:1
Merry Christmas! :)
