End of my junior year

It's almost the end of my junior year! Time sure has gone by fast, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. We had our last day of classes today, and tomorrow the exams begin. I have two tomorrow at 10 am and 2 pm, then one Saturday at 10 am, and two on Monday at 10 am and 2 pm.

I have been studying practically all day, and it feels so unusual for this semester. I just feel like even though I am taking 20 hours, the classes have not been really that hard or required all that much work. I have found myself with a lot of free time, which I don't always use in the most productive or beneficial way. I don't even know how many classes I have skipped this semester...it has been way too many though...I've been pretty slack. But I am still managing to keep good grades, and will hopefully pull out 5 A's and 1 B for my final grades.

People are always complaining about my school, and I often find myself doing the same thing. It's not that hard to bash on the school too, because there are "so many rules and stuff"...that's the main reason everyone whines and complains about it. I think that overall, North Greenville does a decent job at keeping the rules reasonable and I can understand the ultimate reason(s) they want these rules to stay in place. 1) To keep the school's good reputation that Dr. Epting has diligently built over the last 15 or so years. 2) Doing the best to keep God at the focus of our lives at NGU, and of course this doesn't always happen...but who's perfect? So, with all that said, I still think that the students and some of the faculty and staff are treated like children at NGU, and then they wonder why a lot of people act like kids. If you treat someone like a 10 year old, then odds are they will act like a 10 year old. However, it definitely does not give us the right to act like a 10 year old even if they may treat us like one. God calls us to be mature and respectful as Christians, and I am constantly catching myself in an immature or disrespectful state and am trying to improve in that aspect of my life (though it is a daunting task).

Well I just wanted to say some random stuff. Hopefully it made some sense, or maybe it only makes sense in my head. I hope I am not using faulty logic here...That would be terrible.

I will be thinking about what to write about next...Peace out until then! I will leave you with a video of a great worship song:
