Things I've learned in the past six weeks, in no particular order:

1. It's hard to be patient and stand there for half an hour to cook something when you're already starving.
2. It's weird to grocery shop and then cook for one person when you're used to doing it for three or four.
3. My room can get really messy in the course of a week.
4. When your first class isn't until noon, it's hard to get up for any other event occurring before 10:00.
5. Nashville rocks my face off.
6. Belmont rocks my face off.
7. I'm better at some things than I thought I was in the past, and I'm worse at some things than I thought I was in the past, but it's all good.
   
8. I'm a lot lazier than I want to be, and it's the toughest flaw to overcome, because I'm too lazy. Not lazy in a physical sense, but lazy as in I'm lacking in the discipline to get things done and do them well.
   
9. You can make really good friends in the course of six weeks.
10. You can make really good friends in the course of one day.
11. I really like my friends here. I really like my friends back home. I love them all.
    
12. We're not always as unique as we'd like to think we are, but that's totally OK. We don't need to waste our lives trying to be different than everyone else because really, the more we all try to be unique, the more we become alike. Belmont seems to be the perfect example of that. I love it anyway.
13. Weekdays here are crazy busy.
    
14. Weekends are expensive.
15. I wish weekends were less expensive.
    
16. I love weekends (it was quite the opposite at Samford, ironically).
17. Even though I've been clean-shaven for most of my life, it was really startling to see myself without a beard after having one for three months.
18. Some of my classes are easier than I expected them to be, but some of them are a lot harder than I expected them to be.
19. Lost is an amazing show.
    
20. I'm learning to take less for granted.
21. It used to be my least favorite season, but I'm beginning to appreciate the fall.
    
22. I'm so glad I came here.
23. God is always good (I already knew this, but I thought I'd put it here for the heck of it, because it's true.)

In other news, I had and awesome weekend (refer to #15 in the above list) I went and saw Derek Webb at the Rutledge! Thanks to an acquaintance (who became a good friend over the course of Saturday), I was able to help Derek Webb's band set up the stage for the show! The show itself was awesome. And when I say awesome, I mean like really awesome. After the show, I kind of lazily helped pack/clear up the stage, and then I got a picture with Derek Webb himself! In short, it was a crazily ridiculously awesome day (It's too late to think of any unique adjectives...and it doesn't even matter - refer to #12 in the above list).

Here comes bed, and another wild and crazy week. Bring it on.
