This semester I did about 368,000 reflections.
I'm already pretty introspective, so these weren't very hard for me. I could crank out 2 pages in about 20 minutes, which infuriated some of my friends, but oh well!
Anyway, apparently I've missed writing reflections, so I decided to write one about this semester. . .Don't worry, it will not be even close to two pages...I don't miss them that much.
This semester was probably the most head-spinning and challenging 5 months of my life. I'm sitting here writing this and I seriously have no idea where the time went. It feels as though I never even left Lexington. If I concentrate, I can make out fuzzy memories of happenings in the last few months: Heritage boot camp, the night of the Concert Choir bonfire, a weekend in Greeneville, my Junior Recital, a mass conglomeration of Heritage trips, an endless stream of laughter with my roommate, game night...that's about it. Everything else is a blur of running around, practicing, writing, studying, crying (internally, since I don't actually cry), overreacting, and procrastinating.
I may not remember every minute of the past few months, but I know one thing: I am different. And I think in a good way. I am stronger. This semester made me think about a lot of things. I was challenged intellectually, quite a bit emotionally, and personally. My life goals have been re-defined, and I have realized what and who is truly important to me. Thank you, my friends, for being there to get me through all of this.
I can't wait to see what else God has in store for me during my time at Milligan.
