Tear jerking jerks.....aka, college.

I have homework........but that's not the sad part......

I DON'T GET IT!

Calculus is the hard part at the moment. My teacher barely skimmed the top of the material then sent us off to complete the assignments. AND I'M READY TO KILL SOMETHING!! The book is not explaining the concepts very well, and I am not in a position to be able to go to the math lab since today is saturday, tomorrow is sunday, and everything will be closed on monday for labor day, and then it's due on TUESDAY!!! GAH!

On a better note, I got my physics homework done. It was pretty simple because it was just plugging #'s into some formulas. But now I've got to ready the next chapter.....and read 20 million pages in 3 books for my Book of Mormon class, then 20 million more pages for my American Heritage class, and the 20 million MORE pages for my interior design class.....all due on TUESDAY. So maybe it's not such a better note.

I will not be a child about this though. I will not stand up and stamp my foot. I will not throw a temper tantrum. I will not throw up my hands and cry. Although I have cried, I have not thrown up my hands. I've simply put certain problems aside for later.

All in all, I hate homework, but I think my roommates can counteract that hatred as I love them all! If I were all alone in college, my homework and me, then I would predict I'd die prematurely from homework overload/no life. So I'm grateful for people. AMEN!

Tonight I kind of went crazy.  After a day on campus doing engineering homework and then Spanish homework I was tired.  I came home and tried to do more homework, but alas, I failed utterly as illustrated by my body strewn across my bed having no movement; I was tired.  My roommate came in and told me about FHE, but I told her I wasn't going to come tonight.  No energy. I got up a few minutes later because I shouldn't be sleeping at 7 pm.  So I got up and realized how hungry I was!  That may have been part of the reason I had no energy....  So I ate a bagel with some delicious cream cheese.  Mmmmm. :) Side note* I'm trying dairy again because maybe that is the problem I'm having with my back, maybe it's not.  So I'm going back and forth for now.  2 weeks without dairy, 2 weeks with dairy, 2 weeks without....and then we'll see how much of a difference it makes.  I'm eating my bagel and two of my other roommates are going off to...

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, thanksgiving was pretty good....wonderful food, wonderful company, wonderful desserts! I got to see my brand new cousin, born only 9 days ago. That was spectacular! Babies are....magnificent. Finals are in two weeks and I'm not ready. I'm scared out of my mind. Which is strange because recently I've been sort of...happy go lucky.....and now I'm coming out of that and realizing that being that way is not very good because it creates a false security of life being completely good and worry free, which it's not. Life is good. Don't get me wrong. But it's not completely worry free. Without worries, I wouldn't get anything done. I've gotten a minimal amount done up to this point and now I feel like I'm swimming in chin high water and I'm only going deeper. Needless to say, I'll be buckling down these next couple of weeks. - no social life Amelia!! Okay? Okay!!! Two weeks out of my life....eh....no biggie. I'll be grate...

Mercy, Justice, and Unmerited Grace

Last night some of my family members and I sat down to watch the movie, "Just Mercy."  It follows the story of a young lawyer, newly graduated from Harvard.  As an African American raised in the north, he goes to the south and meets a new kind of opposition to his work of representing prisoners on death row.  This young lawyer takes on an African American client accused of murdering a 19 year old white girl some years earlier.  Throughout his investigation he find unmistakable evidence of his client's innocence and uses the justice system as it was created to give the accused man a fair trial.  Yet, he is faced with overwhelming opposition from the white community -- police, judges, and residents alike. Despite that, this young lawyer fights the fear and racism he and his client and the African American community face.  To this day he and his team have saved over 140 people from death row. This powerful film brought tears to my eyes throughout multiple scen...
