College Life, From David's Perspective....

So last semester I had a pretty easy time with most of my classes, didn't worry too much about studying because I knew the material, which as my family will tell you has always been a gift for me. I've never really needed to study. Ever.

Until this semester that is. Holy Cow this semester has been the most eye opening experience of my whole scholastic life! Not only are all my classes harder with more homework, but the tests are insane! This past week I took 2 exams, and usually I look over the material once before going to take the test. I studying my brain out trying to remember all the things the profs. said would be on them and I took the practice quizes and still after all that I bombed both of them. To quote Micheal Scott "The Stress of my modern life is killing me!"

I don't know what happened! Everything was going along fine then then all of the sudden BANG! I guess the Lord is trying to show me that I shouldn't take my past aptitude for learning so lightly.

So I'm trying some new things. Taking more notes, trying to get homework done earlier than the night before it's due (except yesterday, I turned in an blackboard assignment the was due at 6pm exactly at 6pm that was too close!), and I'm trying to be more balanced in my life. I know somethings are going to have to go, and I'll have to focus on other things alot more, but I'm feeling better about it already.

Anyways Other good news is that it's Friday! I love the weekends now! Over the summer they didn't mean much, but now I realize how amazing they really are. Anywho I hope everyone else is having a great day. -David

As a Man Thinketh

As a Man Thinketh is a literary work of James Allen, published in 1902. The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs chapter 23 verse 7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.”

This is a short book available for free on the internet.
There are so many great passages from this book.
Here are some

"A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

"Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results. Bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles."

It is a great Sunday read!
