Yesterday I remembered how much I love reading. My finals today weren't as bad as I expected them to be, yet I still did poorly (C in History, B in Algebra), compared to what I felt I should have done. It's hard to go back and study all the right information. Perhaps next semester I could re-copy my notes in a more condensed and objective format after each class. I don't doubt this will help. An extra effort would help too. Music is going well. I practiced piano. I'm listening to a sermon right now. Hope is of the utmost essence. I look forward to a brighter day. New goal: Write a letter to a soldier.
