Maybe I should update this more often....

WOW. It's the end of May and so much has happened.

First, final exams. I hate bragging, but I kicked butt on them. I managed to pull an A in ALL OF MY CLASSES THIS SEMESTER!!!!! At the time, it was stressful, but thankfully I did well. I think ultimately, the biggest victory was Calculus. Two years ago, I was TERRIBLE at algebra. Awful. As in, I could barely solve for "x". And I hated math because of how confusing it was and how it made me feel frustrated and stupid. Today, I not only passed Calculus (which I VOLUNTARILY signed up for), I ended up being one of the top students!!!!!!!!!!! Many don't consider this a miracle, but to me, this is a miracle. It's also a miracle that once Calc was done, I did NOT have a huge bonfire for my notebooks! I actually enjoyed my Calc class (despite some stress, of course). Amazing what God can do. He really brought a couple of amazing math teachers into my life and I will be forever grateful to them.

Second, I graduated. I graduated from my community college with highest honors. It was a nice ceremony and it feels good (but weird!) to be done. I hope to have my actual diploma soon, then it will be official (yes, I earned my degree and all, but at the ceremony they just give you a cover-the actual diploma they mail to you). Looking forward to transferring.

Third, Colorado family vacation. It was very nice. The mountains were gorgeous. We went up to Pike's Peak (took the Cog train up, highly recommend it), Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (complete with 1,700 schoolchildren *shudder*), and other stuff. It was pretty fun and it was nice to get away. The drives were long, though. I swear Iowa and Nebraska are the same state! I dubbed them Pancake Land, and not because they have good breakfast.

And now.... It's summer for me and I just can't believe tomorrow is June. I'm sure I have more stories, but I can't remember them.
