Post-summer break evaluation

I'm back—back from vacation, back to the real world.

Before I hit the hay, I just want to wrap things up by doing a mini-evaluation as to how my summer break went. In April 10, I listed the things I had wanted to do. Here I'm going to indicate which ones I accomplished and which ones I didn't—and for what reason/s. How did I fare?

Read at least eight books. I'm not decided as to the titles yet, but they should cover the following categories: classical fiction, contemporary fiction, non-fiction, and Christianity. — I read 11 books, including Sinclair Ferguson's The Sermon on the Mount.

Read previous transcriptions and do a self-review in anatomy, especially the OS 203 (Skin, Muscle, and Bones) part. — I just didn't feel like it. Lame reason, I know, but it spelled the difference between school and actual rest.

Work on stuff for the research project. — I didn't want to ruin my group's time off.

Help out in our local church, Marbel Evangelical Fellowship. I can help in the office work, even in teaching Sunday school, which my mother is committed to doing. — I taught in Sunday school once, and I spoke at a youth camp in another church. I praise God for the privilege of serving Him through these ways.

Visit my grandmothers, aunts and uncles, and cousins. — Had a great time!

Watch at least one movie with high school friends. — I watched a movie, and I watched it alone. I met up with high school friends. Twice we sang our hearts out in videoke.

Keep idle moments to a minimum. — Oh, this I did. I think the recurring blackouts in Mindanao were a blessing. 

It may not mean much, but I'm pleased to say that I didn't waste my break.
