So this is my last week of work... and so far I've been swamped with lots of things to do. I have an electrical project to finish as well as two mechanical drawings, and I have a bunch of little things to think about too. It's so different from last week, where I was just sitting around trying to find things to do. I decided to learn how to use a new software, as it would be nice to have it on my resume to open up possible jobs in the future. But when my boss realized that I had been learning the software, I was given more work to do using it. I'm still really noob at the software so it's taking a great deal of time for me to figure out and get something done that would take an experienced user far less time. Oh well, at least this will reinforce what I've been learning. I didn't really finish the whole training tutorial (actually, I just got through the intro stuff), so I decided to just figure it out on my own.
Anyway, I guess I'm having mixed feelings about this being my last week. I'm going to miss spending time with the people here, and many of them are either done for good, or will not be returning for a while. I hope I will get to see them again. That would be nice. However, I am also ready to go on vacation. I think this term has worn me out physically as well as mentally and it'd be nice to just take a break. But this being my last week also makes it my busiest week besides the load at work. I (tell myself) I have to meet up with the people that I have gotten to know better this term and tell them goodbye (hopefully temporarily) and wish them well in their futures. Oh and I must go see the lights at the park!!!!! There was bad weather on Sunday so I couldn't go. There's also another sort of winter wonderland thing uptown, so I would like to go see that too before I leave! I also have to clean my room and pack up all the things I will be needing for the few weeks I'll be home, and prepare for Urbana!
I'm excited to go home, see my dog, see my family, and catch up with my friends. I want to know all about what they've been up to, how God has been working in their lives (if they believe), and just spend time with them.
Although I still have a few more days left, I feel like time is passing by too quickly and just wish that I could pause life and reorganize my thoughts so that I can be productive and complete everything on my (mental) to-do list!
Today I met up with a friend for lunch, and it was really good! We talked about a lot of things that we have been learning this term; the highlights and the things we wish hadn't happened. But either way, they all contributed to our experiences and led us to where we are now. I also got to meet up with another friend for dinner and that was really good too. I am happy.
I think I need to be more patient. Sometimes I do things and act too quickly because I'm afraid that the other person will forget or will miss it. But I feel like I need to be more chill and stop doing that so much because it doesn't give that person the chance to do it first, and it's not really fair for them. Besides, it will show how important they think it is and if they really do care. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands.

Proverbs 25
Verses 6-7, "Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence, and do not claim a place among his great men; it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here," than for him to humiliate you before his nobles."
Verses 21-22, "If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you."
Verse 28, "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control."
