Feeling Accomplished

Only by the grace of God have I gotten this far and only through His grace can I continue.

College is going to be tough! 

However, I am often encouraged by looking back at things that I have accomplished, that is, things that God has strengthened and enabled me to do. So here we go. Today I :

• Can check the box on my first time going to each of my classes
• Used Post-its to colorfully label my notebooks, textbooks, and folders so I know what goes with each class
• I used those same colors to make a schedule on iCal (the calendar program on Macs)
• Conquered iCal! I feel so great about how it looks. Ok, that's not true. It's pretty intimidating. But hey, it's organized so hopefully I won't miss anything. In my head, that cheesy song "And I don't wanna miss a thing/Every time I dream of you/The sweetest dream will never do" Aerosmith? yes. 
• On iCal, not only did I put in when I have class and chapel, I also began putting in exams, breaks, and blocking out time to do specific pieces of homework. Lemme tell ya, I am swamped tomorrow- hello library!
• Began scouting out the best places to study in the library. I am still working out the best place to sit where I won't be insanely distracted by noise or people but that I won't freak out because it's too silent. Both have happened, both are bad. Essentially, I am seeking out the perfect spot. I'm convinced it exists. 
• Finished the reading and note taking for sociology. It wasn't even that long but I had spent so much time on it Tuesday that I felt as though my brain was turning to mush. Good thing I wrote notes on what I read before because I don't really remember it.
• Also, I got onto Blackboard, found a reading, and printed it with the help of a library employee who put me in the printing system. Unfortunately, I had to pay to print because my printer is not working. I have a plan to get it all set up tomorrow with a friend who knows computers and things of that nature. 
• Attended the Lodgeball tournament and met some of the guys on the brother unit. They are very fun and very crazy. 
• Made Arnold Palmer with the packet, and then I realized I didn't have anything to stir it with which was a bummer. I cleaned off my scissors and vwalah- nicely mixed Arny :) it was nommy. 

That's not everything I accomplished today but it's everything I can think of right this moment. Now a shower and a possible late night viewing of The Last Song? We'll see :) 

Happy Wednesday Night, readers!
