What I have learned

Just a sum up of what I've learned about myself, other people, and my surroundings

1) It's ok to just sit and chill for a bit. This is how great conversations get started! This "talk time" doesn't need to be a scheduled "coffee date" or "bear trail date," it can just happen on it's own. Planning for it really takes the fun out of it.

2) Defining the term "busy"...what does it really mean? Are you too involved in one thing to start another? Or are you just procrasting? Do you put schoolwork above friendships? "Sorry I didn't call you for the past month, I was so busy." ---> Too busy for one twenty minute phone call? Ouch!

3) Weather: um, so I didn't really learn that much here. I already knew that it doesn't rain in Waco. I also already knew that it's just stinkin hot. Dry kind of hot, not humid. I didn't know it gets up to the 105's though. New info!

4) The best way to herd goats: yell "HEYYYYY GOATS!" and try not to sound too intimidated or intimidatING. Both ways make you look stupid or scares the goats.

5) You are not working the hardest. By you, I mean me. Some else is always working harder. Humble yourself. But it's not a competition, just do your best, forget the rest.

6) Definition of a community, a group who works together in a cohesive fashion. We got a lot of chores done, sure, but we also got to know each other, learn from each other, and have fun together.

7) Texas is still the best state, but there are some pretty cool other ones out there too. I just can't remember their names ;-)

8) Don't assume. We all know what assuming does! Ask if you are unsure.

9) Africa is a continent! I used to think it was just a country with thousands of uncurable problems. One step at a time, we can make a difference.

10) How to use a bread machine. Make sure that the pan is INSIDE the machine before you dump all the ingredients inside. Hehe.
