I'm here...really.

This has been one insane semester. I've learned a lot, and I don't mean just the subjects themselves. I've learned about 11 o'clock to midnight studyathons, saying no to going out, and learning to do the same thing for hours upon hours.
I've also learned how far I can push myself to get something done. How hard I will try to make that paper perfect, how long I will rack my brains at a time. I found out that I have more stamina for working on a project than I ever gave myself credit for before.
Even though there has been crying, throwing fits, and binging on brownies, I would have never known how far I can go if I hadn't done this.
And now I want to see if I can go even farther-in academics, in kindness, in everything I do. I didn't say it was easy. I said it was and is possible.
So, blubberiness aside, I am still here. This semester is fast coming to a very busy and climatic close. You should (I should think) see me posting a lot more often after the 2-5 of May. And with luck, I may post a couple times before then. I've started a bunch of tomato and pepper trays, and flowers that I've never tried before. I also managed to grow two more apple trees. I've done a bunch, just not had the time before now (what the heck, I don't have the time even now) to talk about any of it.

Anyway, just hang in there. I know I am. Thanks!
