What do I do now?

The semester ended, now what?

I find that I usually end my semester with "wow, I'm done!" and lots of sleeping and then there is this moment of reflection. This is my moment of reflection / Lessons learned.

Boxes Checked
My wife still loves me
2 GE classes
1 Major class
1 Research Internship
Wrote & Submitted Article for publishing
ORCA Project finished
Presented Sendo Project @ CALICO workshop
Attended AAAL - Had a presentation (as co-author)
NL-Soar can do transitive sentences (albeit I'm not responsible for that really coming about.. but I was involved!)
Got an internship for the summer
Found some extra work for the summer - extra $$
Kept my Brothers from starving, physically.... I won't go into spiritually or emotionally or relationshipy..

Lessons Learned / retaught
Confidence in myself and applying for grad school
Temple attendance, scriptures, church make everything else jive
My wife loves me
A lot
a lot a lot
Sometimes you just have to let go and rock out
Saving for things is way better than going into debt for them
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true
I love my wife
A lot
a lot a lot
When it comes down to the end, who you are, your experiences, and how you helped others are all worth far more than the balance of your checking account
Sleep is wonderful
Sometimes you just have to hack program.. you just have to as ugly as it may be.
The road was meant to be walked with others
Family is pretty great
