A Semester Passed...

It's 4:30 in the morning and I can't sleep so I thought I would get up for a bit before I return to sleep.

My first semester at Fresno Pacific is now part of my past. I concluded my last final on Thursday at about 10:30am. What a relief I now feel and also a sense of accomplishment. It feels like it was just yesterday that it was August and I was scared out of my mind of the thought of balancing full time work with full time (14 units) of school. I remember thinking there was no way that I could do it. There were a few times along the way that I felt like I wanted to give up but by God's grace and the encouragement of friends, I made it to the finish line. A few semesters remain and I will be done. I am sure they will fly by just as fast as this one and shall become just memories in mind.

Overall this semester was pretty awesome. I made some amazing new friends at FPU as well as met some pretty cool professors and staff. I was challenged with the information that I learned and really have began to analyze what I want to do in my future. There were many frustrations with things such as units transferring, trying to get my schedule just right, and issues with financial aid, but all in all I am grateful for this semester...it was worth the stress at times, the little frustrations, and even the feelings of fear that I could not make it.

Thank you to my friends at FPU, my processors, the staff, and especially one of my bestest friends, Becky Kruse, for her commitment to FPU and her friendship to me. Thank you BK for letting me ask your questions, vent in frustration, and come over to steal your food...I love ya! PTL this semester is complete!

Glad I could be of at least a little bit of help. However, I should have kept more almonds on hand :)

Glad you're finished and you finished well. You're getting closer and closer to the end...!

Exciting stuff! Mad love.
