You know what I’m talking about.

As soon as you finish one thing, something else pops up to say “Hey! Don’t forget about me! I’m the 10 page paper you said you would do right after you finished that project that you just happened to finish right!”

Ugh, and most of the time it’s about as complicated to do as it is to read the previous sentence. But, do not be dismayed! There is hope! And it’s name is Thanksgiving Break! But it’s too early to talk about that goodness.

Back to reality. Schoolwork.
Are you going crazy? Do you think you have too much work to do and that you are the most busy person in the world? Think again.
Always remember, someone is always busier than you. Someone else always has more work than you. Someone else is always worse off than you. Don’t try to get the world to throw you a pity party because you have a 2 page paper due in a week.

Now there are circumstances where it does get crazy, and you think you will crack. You have two projects, 3 papers, a speech, and an exam all in one week. We have all been there, and it isn’t a pretty scene, but you have to remember to keep your cool.
This may come as a newsflash to some people…but, your identity is NOT found in your schoolwork and how well you perform. Just because you get a barely passing grade on an exam does not mean you are a barely passing student. We all need to get our priorities straight and realize that this is just school. Yes, it is a very expensive type of school for my fellow college students, but it is still just school. It’s not life or death, and if you think it is, you need to sit down and work it out with yourself. Your identity is not in anything you can do, but as a Christian, your identity is found in Christ. Not some speech you are about to wing.

That’s just a little rant about schoolwork. I hope someone out there, somewhere enjoys this and maybe finds peace after reading it. Just remember, it really is just a paper, and there is no need to stress out over a chopped up tree with ink blotched all over it.

Yours in scholarly work (and internet distractions),

THANK GOODNESS

I could use a nice little break from all the madness that is Geneva College.
Now let’s not get confused. I love Geneva, but every now and again I need to get away from all of the work. Funny thing is though, I will probably be doing work all of Fall Break…oh well. That’s the way it goes these days. haha.

So what are you all planning to do on your fabulous Fall Break? (if you have one that is)

Even though I am going to be doing work..I plan to relax. I just realized today that I am busy basically every night of the week.
Monday: Radio Show
Tuesday: Bible Study
Wednesday: Open Hours
Thursday: UpperRoom:
Friday: Open Hours
Saturday: Football game/Open hours
Sunday: NFL football and homework cramming

Now of course I do have free hours in there and open hours aren’t really busy hours, but who really is gonna sit there and write a research paper while their significant other is in the room. Who knows, maybe someone.

Well I think I’m going to sit around and do nothing. I plan to edit the radio show and upload that for some people to listen to at some time…but ehh. We will see what happens. haha.
