since it's tenth week, and i haven't written down most all the crazy things that have happened over this quarter, it's time for a winter quarter reflection:
the good:
getting an interview for a lab position i gave up on.
the bad:
she refused to interview me. (well, it was a learning experience anyway.)
the good:
getting a SECOND interview for a lab position i gave up on. (a week right after!) this time, i got the position i wanted--with a $10/hour salary!
the good:
genetics midterm shock. (a whopping 98%!)
the bad:
physics quiz shock. (a disastrous 65%!)
the good:
realizing that i really needed to step it up. luckily i did end up dropping that quiz.
the good:
meeting new friends in genetics and dimensions of culture.
the bad:
... [there can never be a bad when it comes to meeting friends]
the bad:
Justin got into a car accident and died.
the good:
realizing what a great guy he is. a true role model for every christian that desires more. he has inspired me to pursue greatness, both in spirit and in everyday actions.
the bad:
getting news that i received academic misconduct for cheating.
the good:
realizing how fortunate i was already to be in this institution by God's grace. being broken down really allowed me to see the bigger picture--why should i worry about a small case like this when the majority of people in this world can't even attend college?
the bad:
appealing to the assistant dean didn't work.
the good:
realizing that i have so many friends that support me. now i get to get a hearing and experience the full legal process of academic misconduct from beginning to end.
the bad:
getting my bike stolen.
the good:
realizing how good God is. realizing that registering your bicycle is important. realizing that U-locks are a must, even with cheap-looking bikes. and realizing that there are people out there daring enough to cut a lock and steal it in an open area in broad daylight. (there are no safe zones except inside your dorm!)
wow. a quarter with so many ups and downs. last quarter was not nearly as chaotic. But alas, the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
