Shhh! "Studying!"
Yeah, right. When you have to put quote marks around your activity, it usually means you're avoiding it like the plague.
So yes, I have only one exam left to prepare for. It's on Paul, and it's tomorrow morning at 9:00. The thing is, it's one of those essay tests that could cover a broad range of topics. Anything is fair game. And that only makes my job more difficult because I don't know what topics to focus in on. Our interpretation of Paul on the resurrection, marriage, homosexuality, women, freedom/slavery, etc, any one of those could show up as possible essay topics. Even with the aid of a 3 x 5 index cheat card and a non-cliffnotes Bible, this is going to prove a challenge for me.
So how did I prepare for this exam, you ask? Did I spend my entire week reviewing notes and PowerPoints like I should have? Not a chance. Even today, I spent my afternoon with good friends Lauren, Taylor, and TJ (fellow Paul classmates) as we sat around in Taylor's room half-watching LotR: Return of the King while bouncing ideas off each other. That counts as studying, doesn't it? Their cheat cards looked far more impressive than mine, but I'm still not finished adding to it. We probably wasted more time than we spent doing Paul-related work, but it's okay. Times like these are when lifetime memories are created, and I'll treasure those much more than the grade I get on an essay exam. Our conversations rambled on to any random topic we could think of, from cow jokes to Disney sequels to creepy memories of snakes and spiders to Seesalt memories. Oh yes, and there were the occasional jabs between Lauren and TJ that made me wonder if Taylor and I would end up playing referee to a fight. We went to Firehouse for dinner, and I ordered a 6-foot ham & mayo sub. Wow; guess I was even more hungry than I thought. Even better, Tiffany and Kristin also came and ate with us. Good times, all.
So anyway, I'm going to see how much else I can accomplish on the studying before I decide to call it a night. I'll be finished soon! I just want it to be over with. Many prayers would be appreciated, s'il vous plait. Goodnight!!
