Wave goodbye, November

Things I've learned today, this week, this quarter:

• First impressions mean little to nothing.
• Prayer is terrifying.
• My hands will always be cold.
• Friendship takes time (and time is spelled s-a-c-r-i-f-i-c-e).
• Surprises aren't all bad.
• It's very easy to exist without caffeine.
• Google is the most helpful.
• Music.  Yes.
• Optimism feeds contentment.
• Fifty thousand isn't that many.
• Anyone can be a morning person with enough sleep.
• I love Harry Potter more than most things.
• Being patient sucks.
• Throwing Bible verses at problems is never a solution.
• I'm never by myself.
• Adding a little bit of cinnamon to hot chocolate makes it the best thing ever.
