The semester is finished! I survived all 17 credits worth of classes. I knew it wasn't impossible because I thrive on challenges. Looking back on this semester, I have learned a lot more about different personalities and how I relate to people. People are so abstract and interesting and watching them is one of my favorite things to do because you just never know the life that someone else is living but yet you still try to figure it out by the way they walk, act and carry themselves. This is something I've been so fascinated with...and it has helped me learn and accept the differences that exist.
I deal with a few hurtful times this past semester, especially dishonesty, but it has only made me a stronger woman. This new layer of skin I have grown is unbelievably strong, however like every human being- it still has some weak spots.
Academically, I expanded my mind with my Journalism studies. I learned an incredible amount about shooting video, editing, interviewing, producing, etc. I am ready to create now! I feel I know enough about the industry to go out into the world and do what I have always wanted.
With that I am planning this summer's travels with hopes of getting academic credit, as well as, personal insights into the world's treasures both small and large.
What I do know is that this semester opened so many more doors and closed so many more- people came into my life, went out of my life, helped me, hurt me, loved me, despised me- all in all I can't be happier that these changes took place because a new year is upon us and nows the time to decide what should or shouldn't be carried into 2009. 2008 wasn't so great, but 2009 will surely be fine.
