My most scatterbrained post ever.

Although I've taken a brief recess from my blogging days, I thought it would be a good idea to write a few things to remember my last semester of college by.  So...3 months in I'm finally sitting down to do it.  Actually I'm doing it during my day of classes, but nevertheless, it will be done.  I have mixed feelings about what these next few months will bring, but I do know with overwhelming certainty that God is and will continue to be faithful to me.  This one truth is what keeps me so joyful when the job market (that I will soon be entering into) seems dismal and my future seems unclear.
All in all I'm trying to enjoy these last few months before I enter "the real world" as some tend to call it.  A little more than half way into the semester I've learned a few things that I feel will thoroughly equip me for what lies ahead:

1. It's pointless to attempt to take notes from a foreign professor's lecture.
2. Not having a TV doesn't necessarily reduce the amount of distractions.
3. The ratio of coffee to sleep deprivation is low (aka not enough coffee, not enough sleep)
4. Although I'm sure I would enjoy the country of Germany, I might forever have contempt for the German language because of my Strategic Management professor.
5. Poetry can convey so many horrible horrible things...along with some really good and useless things too.

Funny story: My grandmother called last night but I didn't answer. Her message said, "I just now saw that you called and am calling you back, blah blah, i loooooove you." I had never called her. I called her back today just in case she needed to talk and she answered the phone with, "So how crazy do you think your grandmother is now." I love her more than ever :).
