A Semester in Review, Kind of

 Well hey there friends. Guess we relearned the lesson that really we already knew. When it isn't a mandatory class assignment I just plain old suck at blogging. But, I think I might have something that can maybe make up for my horrible shortcomings this semester. While I didn't blog, I did do something semi similarish. At the start of the semester I made a paper chain for each school day. On one side I wrote an inspirational quote and on the other side at the end of the day I wrote something good that happened that day. Then as I was packing up my stuff to move I looked at them and wrote them all down here. Some days not much happened and I kind of had to stretch. Other days a lot of stuff happened. Anyway, here you go. I semester in very brief review.
