I thought I had finally come up with a way to recap the past two months in a simple format: two posts, one briefly highlighting awesome things which had happened in the second part of the quarter and one covering the not-quite awesome things which had happened. I started thinking about what I wanted to cover, and honestly, for all the hard work, stress, and frustration that went into this quarter, there wasn’t really a “this completely sucks” moment that sticks out in my head. Which is good; winter term is notorious for being really depressing and gray and desperate because it’s 8 weeks of class, no breaks in awful weather (ah, Indiana, land where the weather literally CANNOT MAKE UP ITS MIND whether to rain or snow). So, anyways, awesome things. Here they are.
To start, a few that don’t require much explanation besides a bullet-point mention:
- Having a single
- Volleyball (finally made it to playoffs)
- Grades (3 A’s and a B+)
- Getting a literature minor (a third one I wasn’t expecting to get until I found out I qualified this fall)
Now for those that require a little more explanation.
