"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Cleaning

~We labor to make a house a home, then every time we're expecting visitors, we rush to turn it back into a house.
~Robert Brault

Alright. Two finals down. Two to go. Haven't studied one bit for the last two. Oh my.

I took Elang today-didn't do so great. But I'll pass the class. Pretty sure...

Just spent an hour wiping down everything in my room with Clorox wipes. Thank goodness for those! Haha, except now my hands feel really dry. My room feels cleaner... but it looks no different. Sad day. I'm mostly worried about doing my chore around the apartment and having it stay clean until checks on Saturday...

Can't believe we're more than halfway through April. Or that today is my last full day with these roommates. Tomorrow I'll take two finals, clean my apartment, and head home for a week. When I come back I will have five new roommates-none of which I even know their names. Kinda scary.

Oh, and my visiting teachers came by! Honestly, visiting teaching hasn't been my favorite thing. Such scheduling issues and whatnot. But I really needed that today-someone to talk to and have them listen. Someone who I don't know very well so we can talk about what I'm majoring in and when I graduate. Sometimes, that's just nice.
