Breathe
I can breathe again. My accounting exam was this afternoon at 2:00, and it’s finally done and over. It was so hard. Sixteen questions - you miss one, you’re screwed. I got to the last one… and I blanked. I had to make a statement of cash flows based on some numbers and information using [...]

One Day Left
The problem set is done… my granddad is awesome. Not only did he previously teach Calculus at Covenant for the last 15 years (around there), he also lives three minutes away from the college. I went over to their house this morning with Bets and he helped me with a lot of the problems I [...]

Can I Say Prayer?
My eyes are hurting from staring at the computer screen… I spent three hours writing a Business Management paper that’s due Friday. Two pages, single spaced, 11 point font… and it took me three hours. Wow.
Now I get to freak out about Finite Mathematics. I have to hand in 12 problems tomorrow (and I’ve only done [...]

Late Nights and Poor Attempts
It’s late, and I have to hand in a sonnet for class tomorrow. The following is the fruit of my labor from the last several hours of pondering, phone calls, and tedious writing… I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me. I’m the new John Donne or possibly even Shakespeare. It’s that good…
A [...]

John Donne
I have to write a sonnet for CHOW 2 for Friday… does anyone know how to write a sonnet in iambic pentameter with a rhyming scheme of abba, cddc, efef, and finally gg? We’re studying some of John Donne’s poetry, and the guy was a genius (at least as far as writing sonnets is concerned). To [...]

Insane Classes
Classes were insane today. I woke up at 7:00 a.m. to have breakfast with my friend and then promptly went to my 8:00 a.m. Business Management class, followed by my Doctrine 2 class at 9:00. I had a short break before chapel, followed my my 12:00 p.m. Finite Math, 1:00 p.m. Chorale, 2:00 p.m. Accounting [...]

Warm Blankets and Books
I’m back on the mountain… and it looks just as beautiful as always - rain, strong winds, fog, and cold. What a perfectly beautiful combination. It contains all the elements that drive me to my warm hand-woven Bolivian blanket… and the numerous pages I have to read about theology, accounting, and Christology (note the optimism in [...]

Accounting
Accounting Test 3 tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m.
This is yet another humble request for prayer… I’ve spent the majority of today studying for it. One more test, and then things will let up a little for this week. I had Doctrine on Friday and Microeconomics on Monday already. It feels good to have those finished.

Painting and Doctrine
My day has consisted of art class, studying for my doctrine test tomorrow, and painting a car port for four hours this afternoon… and now, I’m studying doctrine again. I’m studying the moral attributes of God - “faithfulness” particularly caught my attention.
God’s faithfulness is defined as “the utter reliability, firmness, and constancy of God’s character, [...]
