umm...

Super good day.

It's one of those days that's so great that you'd rather just keep the details to yourself instead of telling someone else, only for the details to come out sounding trivial or meaningless. No, I'll keep today to myself :) But, I will say this. God always has a plan, through and through. I like the times in my life most when I let go of the reigns and let The Big Man take over. It's always a smarter decision on my part. Too bad I'm not always smart enough to do so.

On a different note: Something I've come to realize is that I value personal relationships and people more than academics. I try hard all throughout the year, which in turn results in good grades, but, more often than not, if I have the option of spending an extra hour studying something that i've already spent time on or spending an hour of time with a close friend, I'll choose friend. This probably doesn't sound like much of a revolation - 19 year old girl picks hanging out with friends instead of studying. That's not it at all. I just like a balance. I've just decided not to kill myself to get immaculate grades and neglect all the awesome people around me that I'm blessed to be doing life with. I don't want to look back on college and think "Well, I ended up with an A- in that class instead of a B+ but i didn't have much of a college experience." I know that my school is expensive, and it would be absolutely ridiculous for me to throw away the type of education i'm recieving by slacking off and not trying. Trust me though, I would NOT be able to live with myself if I did. It's not in my nature. I can barely handle getting B's. But that's what I'm letting go of. That perfection. I'm okay with a B every once in a while because I'm learning just as much from the people outside of the classroom, as I am from the textbooks and lectures inside. That's all :)
