Things I could be doing right now if I wasn't taking a summer class:

Reading (good books, for fun)

Running (it's a nice evening for a run)

Writing letters to some family and friends (i'm a great pen pal)

Doing something fun with friends (what i should be doing during the summer, not doing school work)

Learning some new card games (spite and malice is my fave, but it's good to broaden the horizons)

Playing scrabble (i'm determined to defeat the computer at least once)

Playing farkle (probably w/ sammie, our wins are currently tied)

Cleaning my room (it's really dusty and i have a ton of water bottles in my closet that i really must throw out, or recylce)

Washing some laundry (i'd hate to run out of underwear, i've come pretty close a few times these past couple of months) (and my sheets could use a run through the wash as well, it's been a while since they've seen some soap and water)

Playing tennis or frisbee (my dad and i need the practice...and exercise)

Finishing my peace corp application (i really would like to submit it by july 1)

As you can see see there are plenty of things I could be and would rather be doing instead of school. And yet, here I sit with an 83 question study guide that I must complete if I wanted to do well on my exam tomorrow. Words can't really describe my annoyance right now, and how much I cannot wait to be done with this class.

Please pray for me, if you will, that I can stay focused and do well, for strength in the midst of perserverence.
