me+books=tight

As Martha said tonight, "only a week and a half to go." Scary and exciting at the same time. I still don't know what I'm going to do next as far as a summer job, and I have like all these things I need to schedule to get out of the way, and the sad thing is half the time I don't care :) In closing, all of you who think you are done with school - consider the following quote:

"Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life."
- Henry L. Doherty

i know what you mean, joy. i feel the same way about life. i love my life. i love it because it's in God's hands; not mine. that's scary and exciting. just the way i like it!
in other news, take a wild guess who got to go to a world cup qualifier game between poland and mexico tonight. for free. and got lots of free shirts and stuff in the process. i'll give you a hint. that same person has to write a 7 page paper that's due tomorrow and learn three chapters of greek for a major quiz.
have a great week and a half..

Daniel,

The whole write the paper and learn Greek thing just gave me a migrane. Oh, and did you know that Constantine is Greek. Too bad they booted him last night...but don't worry...I'm recovering nicely. BEACH TRIP COMMING SOON!!!!!!!

Joy,
I'm all for learning....learning the difference between a grilled stuffed and bean burrito....learning that a nacho supreme is smaller than a nacho bell grande....and we don't want that.
So, learning is cool.

Joy said...

Daniel, you are insane! Rach, taco bell physiology is next on my list too :)

joy,you know my opinion of school.overated.however,i do love to learn.well how can that be you say?learning/being a student does not always = school.i believe society today puts education in a box.we need to break out of that box and realize how much there is to learn beyond the formal classroom.after all,the most important lessons in life aren't found in textbooks.just a thought...

yes hannah, but if we always gave up on something because it was hard, how many people would have paul preached too? would mike have been saved or married martha? would a friendship be stronger?... more thoughts to ponder

i just have to give God props for being amazing right now. (always) i had such a weird day. in fact, so many weird things have happened to me this week that i don't know what to do. i feel like i'm being pulled in a million different directions. then add schoolwork, ministry, and who knows what else. despite all the confusion, He remains the same--amazing. amazing.
