A Week of Trials

Hey guys!

Sorry about being gone so long. It's been a tough week.

Monday I packed and moved out of my house and back to my parents'. So I've been all over the place.

I had an exam Thursday morning that I had not really been in the class for and had literally a thousand lecture slides to review... So, ya... I crammed all day Wednesday at school and crashed in my house (now without blankets) and went straight to school after waking up. I decided to read the Bible in the Architecture building instead of really cramming anymore in. Wait, this story is from the Saturday morning before. lol. Ahh.... it's been a hard week. I had really been struggling and that day I went there and started to reflect on the Spirit-filled life and really surrendering to God's will and trusting in Him. A friend of a friend walked in after apparently watching Pride and Prejudice all night. >.> Found out she is Christian. lol. Oddly encouraging conversation where she was just like "that's awesome!" lol...

Anyways, Thursday I went straight to school at like 6:30 and met up with my friend I had been studying with all night before. He had not slept... >.> So I finished cramming while he attempted to take naps. We went to the exam and it wasn't that bad. Like our prof makes review questions for each chapter and basically copy and pastes the exact same questions to the exams, so I am very very very grateful for that.

Me and my buddy ended an hour early. We had a lab report due the next day at noon... He had forgotten something at his house and I had a car that day so we drove over to his house and ended up eating ramen for lunch. xP. His house is really cool. lol. He slept on the way and on the way back. The whole time I had been counting down how long we had until our report was due, cause we kinda only had 24 hours from when our exam was supposed to end and the report was likely going to be about 20 pages and we had really not started... >.<

So we got to work. Divided tasks. Found a room to crash for the next 20 hours. Got out the laptops and got to it.

Excruciatingly long day.

Energy drink.

I think it was my first official 'all-nighter' without any sleep working the whole time. My buddy took 'naps' like every hour or so. He was just dead from a week f cramming and not sleeping.

40 pages. Seriously. And what's annoying is that our assumptions were likely not valid... lol. So the majority of the was us explaining why our results are reasonable, but not accurate. lol...

We got it in just in time and I had to do my next thing.

I had been put in charge of leading worship for a YA event for Sunday and needed to select songs to sing billingually with EC. We were going to have a practice at 7pm, so I needed to choose and practice asap. Borrowed my brother's guitar and got it done. EC suggested doing different songs. So I switched it up and needed more practice, but it was good.

Since we had practiced at church I stayed for YF. Pretty cool. lol. I miss YF. lol. So few kids, but they are all legit.

I'll tell you more later.
