The 2nd half of 2011 is already under way. "Oh well, here goes nothing!" I say, but is it really that straight-forward? No. My 1st half to this year was indifferent to say the least. I lost my grandfather, and a multitude of phones( the one thing I seem to be master of unfortunately). School did not make thing easier in the final year of undergrad. My only solace that has kept me going thus far is the fact that the Lord never gives us tasks we can never handle.
With this new semester, it being my final one as an undergrad (5 years later) is quite crucial. I have had to come face-to-face with the fact that I'm getting older, as well as a word I have feared since I've come back from initiation school 5 years back. That word being responsibility, which comes with age and maturity as we navigate our way through life. My mom finally managed to drill it into my head that "It's not something you can just put on a shelf and pick up whenever you want." Did I pick up the message a bit too late? I don't know only God and time will be the judge of that.
One thing I know for sure though, is the fact that now I've learned from how I began my year, and am on a mission to end it on a high, and as a graduate. So here's to new beginnings
