Another Stanford Year Down

This past year out in Palo Alto was another great one. It was both fun and stressful, but all in all very rewarding. Here's a summary of the year.

Highlights:
  • Making great new friends (esp. ME & GG)
  • Getting to know old friends better
  • Learning more about myself
  • Finishing (and Passing) the HumBio Core!
  • Teaching a class on 'Disability and Sports'
  • Sleeping outside on Roble field (w/ME) and not getting any sleep because I was terrified of sprinklers and rapists...in that order
  • Having great conversations outside my window with BE late at night
  • Studying in the library (this was the first year I actually studied in the library and it's awesome!)
  • Having the goal to visit every library on Stanford Campus (8ish down, 16 more to go) http://www-sul.stanford.edu/libraries_collections/maps_directions/SULAIRmap10-11.pdf
  • "Study" sessions in Braun with LS and BE
  • Partying at Xanadu with JP, LS, ML, etc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m1UWSD-FaA)
  • Seeing Lake Lagunita (slash Lagunita Puddle)
  • Improving my GPA...just by a wee bit
  • Seeing Andrew Luck...'s Legs (haha, that's a joke...kinda)
  • But really I saw Andrew Luck
  • Finishing my pre-req's for the classes that I actually want to take for next year
  • Taking 2 classses that were at the same time and passing both
Lowlights:
  • Taking 2 classes at the same time and wishing to be like Hermione
  • Having 2 Finals at the same time on the same day
  • Living on the opposite side of campus than the majority of my friends
  • Lagunita Dining....might as well add Stern to that too
  • Having the year end
  • Realizing I only have one more year of college and trying to figure out where to go after I graduate
  • Knowing that a lot of friends will be leaving next year because they graduated or are going on missions or changing wards

I've added Northeastern to my list, but I just don't know if I can handle the cold and the snow anymore.
