Final stretch

As we come to the final week of fall classes, I was amazed, looking back, at how fast this semester has gone. It's been a really great experience for me, and I've grown and matured in a short amount of time. It's been great becoming more independent and not being able to rely on my parents for everything. I surprised myself by how well I adjusted to it all. I'm a quiet and shy person generally so having to do things on my own and meeting new people was kind of scary to me for awhile. Everything went so well thought, and it seems silly now, all of the worrying I did over going to college. Although times can be VERY stressful, like this upcoming week is going to be, college has been a blast so far. It really forces you to manage your time, which is a good thing. This past week I procrastinated a little too much and now this week is going to be a tough one, but I think that it's a lesson I can learn from again too. I really can't believe a whole semester has gone by. I'm already 1/8 of the way done with college. Soon the year will be over, and I'll ready have a 1/4 of college behind me. Wartburg has been a blessing, and I'm so grateful for all of the experiences I've had so far. I look forward to 3 and 1/2 more years here, that is if I survive the upcoming week and finals.
