A Whirlwind

This post is really short because I’ve been working on my final project all day. Tomorrow I present it, and when I finish I will be done with my first semester of grad school. What a whirlwind it’s been these past 8 months. I graduated undergrad in early May and stepped right back into the classroom a week later to take some summer grad classes. I found time during June to attend my best friend’s wedding and work for two weeks at Camp Tecumseh. Then in mid July I was back in the classroom and have been biking back and forth from my house to the business school ever since.

The first semester is called the core and it was an experience for sure. From case presentations to ambiguous assignments, coding, and 3 hour classes, somehow I’ve survived. It was psychologically painful at times, but I knew I was going to get through it. Like God says in Romans 5:3-5, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” I’ve had hope that tomorrow will come. It will be here shortly and I will enjoy reflecting on this whirlwind.
