What's been accomplished this year...

With the semester finally winding down, I began to think about what I had accomplished in this school year.  Had I learned a whole lot from the classes I've taken?  To be honest, it makes me laugh a little at how little I feel I've learned.  A few of my classes were useful, but a majority I already knew what was being presented or it was all so bland that I didn't take time to remember it.  Overall though, I decided to make a list of the things I did learn over this past year about myself.  Most are pretty silly and I thought I'd leave out school things (because despite what I said, I did learn quite a lot) because this is more fun.

What I've Learned/Learned About Myself During Fall 2010-Spring 2011 At Southern Utah University:

  • 1:25 is the perfect time for a Hot Pocket to be cooked
  • It takes me exactly 3 minutes to get from my dorm to the Business building
  • Dryer number 6 DOES NOT WORK (after $4.00 of trying)
  • Winter starts in October and ends in April
  • Cereal tastes even better after midnight
  • Risk brings out the worst in everyone and trust no one
  • Occasionally, papers may be written 30 min. before class starts (high marks still received)
  • Mornings go much better when air drying
  • 7 o'clock classes are the worst things to ever be thought of
  • Time can be found in every day to go to the gym
  • Time can be found in every day to take a nap 
  • I would rather miss a class than walk in late (unless it's necessary that I be there)
  • I take off my clothes in my sleep when I'm too hot
  • Korean food is delicious, but is so spicy it makes me cry
  • The same goes for Thai food
  • It's possible to wear shorts in the morning, a parka in the afternoon, then shorts again later
  • Netflix and homework are sworn enemies
  • Netflix and I are best friends
  • Without music, I would go insane
  • Pancakes at midnight are wonderful
  • Hats can be worn to compensate for showering
  • During finals, showers/shaving/eating properly/sleeping/getting dressed are all options
  • Suspenders and sweater vests are beautiful things
  • Going to Walmart is considered "going out"
  • Telling myself that I'll read all the books I brought is a big fat lie
  • I tell myself that eating before bed makes me have lucid dreams so I constantly do it
  • Gaining a "Freshman 15" isn't always bad
  • I save the most mundane things.  Ex: Notes scrawled to myself, old papers, receipts, empty boxes
  • There is usually never a time I'm not thinking about eating
  • Swimming in an empty pool is an excellent way to clear my head
  • Sweats and a T-shirt may be worn to any class if it's too hard to actually get dressed
This is all I have so far but I'm sure there are plenty more and maybe I'll write down a few more later.  Mostly I did this to make myself laugh at how these past 9 months have been for me.
