An Appology...and Some Catching Up

Hello my lovelies....for, if you are still here with me, you are incredibly lovely.

This semester has been one heck of a ride, and I know that I set this up to be a literary blog, but I really need to get my feelings about school out.

Firstly:  The Bragging
This was my best semester yet, and my first semester where my GPA has been above the 3.6 range.  (Which is good...because I have to keep a 3.6 overall to stay in honors).  I took a lot of challenging classes, didn't sleep much, stressed a lot, and am overall very proud of how I did.

Secondly:  Admitting to Some Faults
So if you know me in person, you probably heard me worrying quite loudly about thermodynamics...and I'm happy to say that most of my worrying was unfounded.  I had a fantastic professor, thoroughly enjoyed the subject material, and survived (though it was still tough)

Thirdly:  The Books
I didn't really have a lot of time to do much reading, between classes and homework (and to be honest, a large list of TV shows that I watched).  I got a few novels done before school started that I don't believe I've talked about here, and since I've been home for break, I've read 1.5 books.

Fourthly:  The Culture
Since returning home, I've taken a couple trips into the city, which I will be talking about in a culture post in the near future.

Fifthly:  The Future
I am gearing up (pun 100% intended) for a summer internship that I'm super excited for.  Additionally, I am getting super pumped for my 7 month study abroad in Shanghai.  I will probably be talking more about both of these as I start packing, traveling, and working.  If anyone wants a post about resumes, travel tips, or anything business/internship/college-related, I am more than happy to oblige (though I might do some of these anyway without requests)

I am currently reading Death Comes to Pemberly by PD James, and (more slowly) Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2014!

Until next time!
