If you can't tell from the title of this post I'm finally done my class! If you didn't know, I was taking New Testament Foundations and it pretty much consisted of reading the New Testament, reading two text books on the New Testament, learning about each book in the New Testament, and writing about one of the books of the New Testament. I was actually incredibly excited for this class when I signed up for it but that was 13 months ago when I did that and a lot changed shortly after. Since then I have had a lot on my plate with physical issues and after finishing my treatment in December I continued to struggle with something I like to call "below average brain function". This pretty much entails bad memory, slow to recall words, having a short attention span, being unable to focus for long periods of time, and having a bad memory. With all of that said, finishing this class was a pretty exciting accomplishment!
However I need to backtrack a little bit. A few months before the class was finished I decided I was going to take a break from school once finishing the class. I realized it would be silly of me to try to start another class while having a brain that is not at its best ability to retain large amounts of information in a set amount of time. Therefore... this is the year... this is the first year in the last 20 years that I won't be in school.
This is the year that I can stay up late watching movies with friends because I don't have to go home and study!
This is the year I can continue going to the gym in October, December, February, and April because I don't have to become a hermit to survive midterms and finals!
This is the year that I can pursue the hobbies I never pursued, save up money to travel to the places that I never travelled and proofread all the papers for friends I was never able to proofread before (nerd alert).
It's also the year I can finish all the books I've bought over the last however-many years and was never able to finish!!
This is the year!!!!
And although I don't know what it holds, I know it will be a good one. Why?
Because this is the year.
