Back to School

As of 8am tomorrow, I will have finished my first official week of classes for this last official semester of mine. There is just no joking around this semester.. I have weird classes and a weird schedule and though I have no intention of quitting I am mentally preparing myself for another long semester of stress.
College never gets old..it's fun and amusing and I love to learn! Though, I will say that it does get exhausting.. and not yet at the one week mark, I am genuinely exhausted. I guess going from 8 am wake ups to watch the world's cutest baby to 530 am wake ups to commute is contributing. (The amount of money I've spent on gas alone in the last week is tiresome) but let's not forget the coveted piece of paper and rite of passage I will have earned in four months or so!
here's a little sampling for you:
(from my 8am statistics class)
Prof: "The problems were about to do are identical to your homework problems 37-42...[long pause] except I changed all the numbers"
Hmmm, I believe that makes them entirely different problems...dare I say, not identical :)
Nonetheless, I've decided even with my great disdain for mathematics, I will succeed at Stats because it is simply putting numbers where they belong in an orderly and varying fashion to make the most possible sense of them! I can handle that and even appreciate it. I like order. Also my prof really is the sweetest old guy!

Here's one of my other personal faves.. from my Biochemistry class that I am truly unqualified to be in...
Prof:
So there's two Hydrogens walking down the street.
One says to the other " I think I lost an electron"
"Are you sure?" asks the other.
"Yep, I'm Positive!"

oh yeah.. that all happened today and it's only lunch time (or coffee time)!

Thankfully, the Lord has been reminding me (and challenging me) that Christ came FULL of grace& truth (John 1:14).
He has grace for this sarcastic, underachiever
and He's calling me to show that same grace to those around me....
even when I feel underqualified, stressed out and ready to shout "GUTS!" at the top of my lungs..
