Crazy Quarter
This quarter has been terribly hectic. I am not taking the hardest classes possible but it seems like I just can’t stay ahead. My Psychology and English class are nothing more than busy work. My Human Anatomy and Pre-Calc classes are something different though. I spend more time in those two classes indvidually then I have ever had to do before.
The quarter itself got off to a bad start. The week before classes started Miriam’s Grandmother died. While this wasn’t nearly as hard on me as it was for Miriam, it seems to have set a precedent for the ten weeks to follow. It just seems like one thing after another has come up that requires so much time and attention that my attention keeps being drawn away. Somehow all of this has to be mixed in to fit in between school, work, family, and misc. obligations.
I’m not trying to complain but it seems like I about to burst. I just need a break. Honestly, I haven’t gotten more than six hours of sleep in six weeks. I guess this is part of college; being able to manage a number of different tasks and obligations. I just hope that I can meet the standard because if I keep dragging behind like I am now than I am going to burn out.

Perry, I’m kind of in the same boat as you…. way too much to do! I think it’s important to realize that Satan will do anything he can to keep us from God.
I admit that when it comes to crunch time, one of the first obligations I cut from my schedule is my quiet time. What an awful thing to do. When we experience hardships like these, it’s even more important that we spend time with God.
One verse that really speaks to me in stressful times is James 1:2.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
