A few notes
I don't want to spend too much time here tonight unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who's looking at it) but I did want to mention a few things.
I found out that I need to get an 83 on my Calculus final in order to get an "A" in the class. Hopefully I'll manage that :) There was a girl afterwards that asked for my e-mail address but not for anything personal, she just wasn't going to be there Friday and wanted to ask for notes or what had happened. I actually admire her for trying so hard in this class, all through the semester she has apparently been struggling, always the one asking confused questions when everyone else seemed to have got it, always asking questions about the homework etc. but as I found out today from the teacher, she has the third highest score in the class apparently! How a lot of those guys (Engineer majors) would squawk if they found out they'd been beaten by her! So I was very happy for her in that case. I've only spoken with her once or twice but I'll be happy to give her notes, at least I know that she would be at class if she could, if another person had asked I would have probably guessed that they just wanted a longer weekend or something.
I also found out that I didn't do as well on my Economics exam as I had hoped. It was okay I suppose but not as good as I should have done. The teacher said it was the hardest exam by far that we've had. The test average was quite a bit lower on this last one.
Then I came home and did a couple of things and headed back afterward to go check out in the Chemistry lab. Basically they counted our things and made sure everything was there and not broken, then we turned in our keys and left so it was pretty easy. While I was there I went to the Chemistry professor's office and showed him the "New Element Found" e-mail that apparently Mr. C had sent out (I got it from the Vaknors). He did find it pretty amusing, as I expected he would.
Tomorrow will be a busy day for me, I've got some things to get done for Friday and then study some more for my finals. I'm really only "concerned" about Economics and Chemistry so that narrows things down quite a bit.
Here's a random quote.... one that I liked.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
- GM Trevelyan
And that is very true, so many things people read just because it's popular etc. The ability to discern is becoming rapidly lost. Of course it could be argued that education of today isn't even producing a population able to read but that's another debate.....
I was invited to go to the Yule's house early and have dinner with them and then stay afterward for the home group Bible study that was meeting there so I accepted and stayed at their house quite a while actually. I hope they didn't mind too much because I did really enjoy myself. It was Dark Warrior's birthday so we celebrated with a delicious cake made by Daisy (chocolate of course) and ice cream and a few presents afterward. The group study was canceled because of the snow so I was the only visitor and I almost felt as though I was the lingering guest long after the party was over and people have gone home to bed. They gave me a triple viewing of their favourite Three Stooges shows, which I did enjoy I must say, though I must say I wouldn't want the stooges to do my plumbing. Many parts were very funny, much better than a lot of shows of today.
After that was some conversation followed by family devotions in 1 Corinthians 12 and the singing of a Psalm. Everyone sang so quiet though! I enjoyed learning the tune though. I AM picking up things here and there! After that was more conversation. I was dying to ask some questions and hear some stories but I had probably over-stayed as it was but my how enjoyable the time was. It's nice to be among God's family and just to converse. Something I've not been doing much of lately, holed up in my icebox as it is........ :)
So that was pretty much the day and if I may be excused, I'd like to go to bed so I'll be somewhat intelligent looking in the morning during Calculus. Good night!

Yes, my family does sing softly during family devotions. When I'm home, sometimes Brother1, my mother, and I will sing parts, and we're practically the only ones who can be heard.
Good grief, I can't believe you watched three episodes of the Three Stooges!! *groan* :)
I'm glad you got to come over, but I wish I could've been there.
That girl in your class sounds similar to my behavior in class sometimes (ommitting the third-place part--I'd just be confused, at least if it was a math class).
Yes, it was hard for me to sing that softly but I didn't want to be belting it out, especially when the tune was unfamiliar :D
Yes, you were certainly missed, at dinner I was given your plate you drew, it must have been quite some time ago. My mom had us draw plates too when we were younger, my first one was when I was five and at that stage in my life, everyond I drew had to have a belt with a belt buckle. I think I was fascinated with the Pilgrims as well so they had buckles on their shoes..... And orange was the closest colour to skin I had so.......
Yes, three episodes, I thought they were pretty funny, I'm not a "huge stooge" fan but I certainly found it enjoyable!
Yes, that young lady sounded confused on just about everything though, even things we'd gone over before, but actually after a few minutes she "gets it" very quickly. She doesn't seem like she would be doing really well, though I certainly knew she was trying hard. Yes, she's a worker and I was very glad to see that! It's not very common these days but as is obvious, it pays off!
Well yes, a good grade for me is 100 of course. The grades are normal in this class, you have to get a 90 for an A etc. but since I had scores above 90, I have to get an 83 or above on the final in order to get a 90 average or above. So that's something of a relief I suppose, knowing that you've got lots of room to mess up in, just in case!
