End of the Year Reflection

the year is almost over, i have 3 days of skool left and then i get to go home for the summer. today my grandma asked me wat the most important thing i learned this year was. i couldnt answer right away because there r so many things i have learned. i guess we can start with the simple: iv learned that redbull makes me act funny, that college dorms smell weird no matter how often u clean them, that roommates can be a blessing and a curse (especially wen they sing opera in the shower after midnight), that long distance relationships are not a good idea, that virgin margaritas should not be placed near computer keyboards (and consequently that its hard to clean a laptop keyboard), that no matter how much u think u kno the material, one teacher is still going to make u feel like a moron in front of the class,that hulu is the best thing since sliced bread, that working on a puzzle for 8 hours straight gives u a terrible crick in the neck, that if u wanna actually learn something in stats u better bring a jacket so u arent preoccupied with shivering the entire time, that kool teachers let u go on field trips to starbucks and give freebies on tests, that drinking a full orange creamsicle slushie from QT makes u really sick, that almost anything can be turned into an innuendo especially by adding "awkward" to the the end of a phrase,that there are a lot more talented people out there than i thought as well as the opposite, that Tv shows hav the answers to all our life problems, that caffeteria food isnt as bad as people say it is... every once in a while, that frozen chocolate milk is a bombtastic treat, that class might as well be canceled on Denny's free grandslam breakfast day... no one shows up anyway, that half of everything i say is a quote from a movie or tv show, that there IS such a thing as a stupid question, that even modern day Jedi's can get a girlfriend, that you should not put big complicated words like socialization into a presentation especially after drinking a vente frappacino, that a snuggie around the bunkbed makes a good cave to escape for some privacy now and then, that during the skool year 8 o'clock is the crack of dawn and being out late means 3 am.....iv learned that people can hav differing opinions and theology and still get along, that the world is not as black and white as i would like it to be, that valuing life is an essential human characteristic and the most attractive one, that God chases after me when i run from Him, and that no matter how many times or how badly i fail i can always start over the next day. this year was really hard for me but i hav learned much and changed for the better. i am more gracious in my attitude towards others, more humble, and more willing to give of myself to others. im not sure if im looking forward to next year but i am definately interested to see what God teaches me next.
