Discerning AIM

image
just thought it would be fun to show you my IM list of calvin friends and how their away messages reflect their perspective on exams.  as you can see, some of them are pretty gung-ho about the whole deal, such as lexie4425 and Ms. Klamer.  others are not so gung-ho.  just see Jessica Pyper’s and David Wolfe’s away messages.  we can also discern a trend that many believe the library to be a conducive place for studying.  ironically, if everyone thought that way and went to the library, the library would just become a hangout spot where everyone would be too busy greeting friends and asking about other’s exam loads that nobody would get anything done.

George: “So how’re your exams going?  You look stressed.”
Sally: “No duh.  I’ll be less stressed if you let me study!”
Bob: “Hey Sally!  Haven’t seen you in a while.  How’s your exam load?”
Sally: “I must study… stop talking to me…”
Katie: “Sally!  I love you!  How many exams do you have left?”
Sally: “. . .”

just a possible scenario.  now i must return to studying since i’m at the library.  and don’t even try adding my friends to your AIM list.  that’s called stalking, you creeper!

Two Down, One To Go!

i just finished my first of two in-class final exams, and i handed in my take-home exam for my world religions class earlier today.  the last and final hurdle is my biblical theology class (REL309), which will probably take all of 3 hours (if not more) and many many blue books.  i just spoke with my REL309 prof, and as i suspected, his best advice was to “just know everything.”  that might seem ridiculous, but i’ve had him before, and he had the same philosophy.  i guess i can stress out about it if i’m trying to shoot for an A+ (pretty much impossible), but if i’m looking at it as a learning experience, everything seems much more manageable.  it’s been a fantastic class, and i’ve enjoyed learning from professor crump.  maybe as you’re reading this, you’re thinking, “oh, nehemiah’s just trying to comfort himself.”  you might be right, but don’t tell me.
