weight for me.

ever feel so weighted down my life but are still moving forward at full speed?  yeah, i wanna know what happened to my break pedal.  i’m having a harder and harder time adjusting back to school life.  i had gotten used to being given projects that had definate ends…but this school thing,  it doesn’t end till the semester is over and numbers matter too much.  i’ve got two profs who are merciless when it comes to having hard exams.

today my bio professor reprimanded us because students “don’t know how to prioritize exams.  they really don’t mean anything five years down the road. it’s not worth getting all upset about them.”  and then proceeded to tell us how our lab exam, where we’ll be answering many labeled pieces of dissected pigs, hearts, brains, etc, will have NO word bank and he’ll “maybe give us points if a word is spelled wrong.”  i was so mad that the word “maybe?!” quickly sprang off my lips.  it’s arrogance like this that makes me shake with anger and frustration.

i’ve been thinking day after day, honestly, what is the point of making exams that hard?  what does it do for the learning process? for me personally, nothing.  it freaks me out enough that i can’t recall information.  the only thing it accomplishes is making me very angry and concerned about passing the class… why do i have these two classes my senior year of all times??

i know my posts haven’t been all cheerly lately.  i’m so frustrated.  and i think i’m homesick.  i miss fall and winter at home.  i wish i could just snap my fingers in the evenings and be back home.  thanksgiving still feels really far away.

please pray for me friends.  there’s a lot going on in my personal life that i haven’t shared.
