making it work
today was a good day. i didn't have any classes, but it was a productive day. i went to the school library and did some research for a project and then i got my stipend from school and went downtown to the immigration office. hah! i never imagined myself talking about going to an immigration office! anyways, i then proceeded to the grocery store to get some snacks for my trip to tallinn (estonia) and riga (latvia) this weekend. i might even get to go to finland this weekend too! it's just a short ferry ride away from tallin.
i've gotten most of my work done too. i did the brochure work that i had to and now all i have to do for my class tomorrow is read. this is the easiest semester of my life. really. if i don't get good grades it will be because it's too easy. where's the challenge? i can see myself not getting good grades because of two things: attendence and one bad test. okay, the attendence policy is pretty strict here and one of the very few grades i took in one class might be horrible because the exam was indeed difficult to study for and accomplish. i think the tests should reflect the class discussions and i think special vocabulary words are rediculous. if you know something and can explain it ad naseum, but can't put the exact phrasing, then you shouldn't be penalized for it. arg. but i still don't know how that test turned out.
anyways. i was bored for some time, but thank goodness for friends and the internet. i was able to talk to scott for a while again today. i spent a long time talking to him online while i did some work yesterday. that was very nice and i can't express how much the long conversations with scott mean to me. we get a long very well and in a side note, i'm concerned because we will have an argument or disagreement one of these days. but i did get to talk to wilbe and amy for a bit yesterday and sarah today and those extra conversations are also priceless. : )
two of my close friends are having problems with their significant others and it's made me notice the whole thing about love. i think my friends and i are entering the "real" stage of relationships. the stage of trying to impress and the giddy newness is gone and now it's the stage of just being yourself and keeping afloat. that is a hard stage sometimes because finding out who you are is a lot harder than finding out if that guy digs you or not. i feel like today is an important day in understanding life because i've vicariously experienced some difficult things. and finding doubt where there used to be no doubt is definately classified as a difficult thing.
gosh. i'm glad i'm a Christian and that i don't have to have all the answers and that i'm not just putting my faith, hopes, and dreams out there on a maybe kind of universe. i'm not saying that fate is going to deal me a better hand than those who don't believe in God. i'm just saying that for my own sanity i can be happy with the hope believing in God gives because i can be certain that my prayers are heard and of course a good sense of hope that life will ultimately be okay. because if you look at it, if i were wrong about the whole Jesus-dying-for-everyone-thing then at least i was happy and content. it's a win-win situation and as a business major, i'd have to say that that is the best kind of situation. : )
now i read. and pack for a trip that i leave for tomorrow. goodnight friends.
