Halfway There!

     Next week will mark the official halfway point of the semester.  I cannot even believe that it has already been half a semester.  Seems like yesterday I was just starting my classes, now I am taking midterms.  Looking back on the past weeks I have to say every minute of college life has been amazing.  From late night walks with friends to football games no moment has gone by uninteresting.  Out of all of these moments I would say my favorite memory of college would have to be going on a fall conference trip with The Navigators.  This trip actually took place last weekend in Black Mountain, NC.  Incredible does not nearly describe how amazing and intense this trip was.  Not only did I grow in my faith and become closer to God, I made so many friends within the university and met so many people from other universities.  The trip made me feel so connected with people here at the university through my bible study, and meet other cool people who are just as interested in growing in their walk with God.  I am so happy I went on this trip I could not imagine having missed it.
     Out of all my memories a few of them stand as being amazing, while others are a little less exciting and I wish I could change them.  One memory in particular is not going with friends to a campus wide event and missing out on an awesome time.  I decided to pass going to a big party because I thought it would be a party put on by fraternities and there would be lots of drinking and dangerous situations.  Come to find out the event was actually put on by the university and was a safe alternative to partying at five points or somewhere else.  I wish looking back that I made the decision to go but it is too late now.
     Now that I am halfway through the semester I am also looking at my goals and reevaluating them.  My personal challenge of taking the stairs everyday except once is holding up very nicely.  I have yet to find a time when I did not take the stairs apart from when I was sick one day and too nauseous to walk up them.  Also my goal of making all A's is currently moving in the right direction.  I have received an A so far on all my tests and homework assignmetns in each of my classes. I have found a great Christian organization to become involved in as well as an organization for Pre-Pharmacy and triathlons.  My main goals were to find clubs for these three areas of my life that I was very devoted in.  If I can just stay committed to my work and prioritizing my time I should have no problem staying on top of my goals.  As long as I continue to put work first and everything else after I should get all A's like I want and stay involved with my activities.  Hopefully it all works out for the best!
