Almost Weekly Report

So, I’m at the point where I should definitely studying. But I’m not. And at this point I’m blaming it on the headache which I am currently facing.

It’s interesting, these are my last exams. At least in this phase of my career as a full-time student. And it’s the most stressed I have ever gotten in my life over exams. Usually, I just study a bit, go into the exam, write what I know and leave. But in this case, I am stressed. I think that it has to do with the fact that I have really struggled with being at Bible College. I didn’t want to go in the first place. But I’ve stayed because it’s what I was supposed to do.
Most people, at this point in the conversation would ask, “Why? No one is making you, are they?”. Needless to say, it’s been a long four and a half years. And I want it to end. But there is one thing that stands in the way; GREEK!

Tomorrow I have 2 exams, Wisdom literature and Greek. Wisdom Literature, well I could get 35% on the final and still pass the class. Greek on the other hand, I have a history of failing the exams. Which brings my stress level up. So much to the point that when I went to the dentist today, I wasn’t even stressed about it. And I HATE DENTISTS! I’ve had a couple experiences where they didn’t freeze me completely before they started drilling… this makes me hate them.

On top of my new found ‘liking’ to dentists, I have began putting off my other last minute assignments. They should only take a couple hours and I could have been done them a couple days ago, but I’m so stressed that I don’t want to go near them.

It sucks. I’ve never been so afraid of something in my life. I’ve never been afraid that I would fail so bad. Normally I just don’t care, sort of.
So what’s the worst part? The fact that more studying greek won’t help. I don’t know it. At least not well enough. And any studying I do merely stresses me out more. Not to mention that you can’t cram for greek or any language for that matter.

Well, the countdown begins. 5 Exams, and a few papers to go before it’s all over. Oh yes, and 16 days, at least till I walk across the stage.

IT is all getting surreal. I’m not quite to take it. There is still so much left to do, and so much that I have to start and plan for May 1st.
I need to find a place to live, aka an apartment.
I need a roommate.
I need to get my car fixed.
I need to pack.
I need to get my stuff from the island.
I need to find my sanity!?!

Help, I’ve Facebooked and I can’t stop!

So, I have a confession to make. I have a new favorite past time. It’s called facebook (www.facebook.com). And the worst part is that I was adamantly against facebook for the longest time. Then it happened; i heard about a photo that was on someone’s facebook that I wanted to see. So, I then decided why not Join.

Here is the problem, I didn’t completely understand how facebook worked. So I wasn’t really drawn in immediately. Then the next day in talking to some fellow UCMer’s it was explained that Facebook simply turns your friends into “Pokemon” cards, “you gotta collect them all™”.

Now I get it. I facebook and I facebook well. In fact I have like 80 Friends via Facebook in 2 days!!! I feel so Loved.

If you are wondering how facebook works, it’s pretty simple. You sign up, then you search for your friends with their e-mails. You add your friends, they confirm and you become part of a network. Then whenever they add someone, change their status, talk to another one of your ‘mutual friends’, add pictures or blog. It shows up on your Facebook Home Page.

So… Marty, Facebook is the Internet Generation 2.0

Well… here’s what I did this weekend. I helped rip out carpets at Marty and Emily’s new townhouse.
