Fading into Mediocrity

It's been a rather uneventful couple of weeks since spring break. Yikes, it's been two weeks. That went by fast. It's been very nice weather wise since spring break, which is very sweet. Driving through campus with the windows down and blasting music is a lot fun. We've played frisbee twice since then. The first time was on the fields next to the stadium. It was very very muddy. We played on the stadium football field on Sunday. It's very nice to walk and run on, but take a dive on it, lots and lots of pain. I have a habit of sliding onto my knees after a running catch. That kinda rips the skin off your leg. I did it last year, and you think I would have learned, but nope, I did it again. I now have 3-4 inch diameter burn on my leg.
In other news, I had to withdraw from a class for the first time. I was failing badly. It was a really strange situation for me. I was really disappointed because that means I have to be here at IUP for classes over the summer, for both sessions. I really wanted to be back home over the summer, so it's very disappointing. If I can I'm going to try to come for a week or two at some point, but I can't manage more then that.
If you guys think of it I could really use prayer. I've been really struggling with trusting God especially with the recent class situation. It's been very hard not to become depressed. So if you could be praying for me I would appreciate it a lot.
It was a very interesting day today. It was visiting day, ie tons of highschool kids with parents taking up precious parking spots, plus there were 4 notable alumni, including Chad Hurley, who founded YouTube. And you know how much IUP tries to milk non-famous alumni for all they're worth, so famous ones get pumped up a lot. It's kinda annoying. I mean he was addressing the business college, and he graduated with a freaking Fine Arts degree. C'mon.

Today is a good day. . . to live

Wow, have I been neglecting this blog lately. I know I sound like a broken record, but I've been very busy. And next week is going to be a dozy. I have four exams, two essays, a group project, a group presentation, and thirty-five some odd statistics problems. However, for today, it's all good. Yesterday REC (the church's college age ministry) had a hot chocolate outreach. I was helping to get it setup and as we were boiling water and beginning to mix the hot chocolate, I tasted the results and found it to taste really, well, bad. I thought perhaps that it needed to be stirred more, but after an extended stirring, it still tasted bad. I looked at the packaging and realized that someone got Nesquick powder, which is to make chocolate milk. Not good for water. So someone ran to the nearby Giant Eagle to get the proper stuff. After that I had to go to class, and then returned after it was done and had fun hanging out with people and giving out hot chocolate. But I didn't get back to the Bassler's until around 5:30pm and I had left for class at 7:30am. So I was on campus for about ten hours, and I was running all over the place so I was really tired. I went to bed pretty early. This morning I went to accounting class and got my first test back. I was rather disappointed when I got an 85. But, apparently 80% of the class failed. Badly. I was going to say something about how I was a bit disappointed, but as people began saying what they got (15, 10, 39) I figured I should keep my mouth shut. The teacher is a bit of a jerk, and basically said he didn't care. He's not all that bad of a teacher, but his opinion is that students are lazy stupid idiots. Which, may be somewhat true, but it's a little stereotypical. Class ran for about 15 minutes, then some woman came and the professor had to leave. He has missed 2 classes already, so my opinion is rather low of him. Anyway I got to leave early and it's a gorgeous day outside, so I'm in a pretty good mood.
