There’s the adage in the sports world that champions find a way to win even when they’re not playing their best. 1

Well that’s what this past week has felt like – not being anywhere near my best, but hoping that whatever I can grind out is more than just good enough.

Certainly, this has been one of those “ugh it’s ONLY week number 8?”3 weeks.

When you take a step back and think about it, though, it’s wild to think that we are now halfway through semester 1. And even in the midst of the discombobulated mess that this stretch has been, it still blows my mind how fast this first quarter has flown by.4
