man...it's been another tiring day. went from class to an APU (association of psychology undergraduates, no wonder they go by the acronym!) meeting, then after that went for navigators...so this is the first chance i'm getting to sit and rest, and breathe. i have a pile of work to complete, 2 papers, got to finish reading a dozen books...term is really starting to get busy now, at least this weekend i don't have too many activities lined up, so i can catch up on my work.
navigators was great as usual, the word was on running for the prize...got to run keeping 2 things in mind - run with purpose and with discipline. the purpose being of course to win the prize, which comes in 2 forms - salvation, and a crown of reward when we finally meet God face to face. and discipline is just having self-control, choosing to assert God-given authority over the desires of the flesh. heard this story about bill bright, the founder of campus crusade for Christ. he was giving an interview and someone asked him how he coped with his "down" moments, his answer was really amazing...said he usually goes out and evangelizes when he feels depressed, because in doing so and sharing the love of Jesus with others it helps reminds him of how much has been done for him on the cross. isn't that amazing? great man of God...
oh, twin discovery of the day. one of my navigators staff, danny, is a twin...chris: pity all the twins i've met so far are either too young, too old or female, sad! but it's strange, the number of twins i'm coming across in berkeley.
found a computer lab that allows me to print for free...just in time too, coz i've got a paper due tomorrow, which i really should go proofread now. and i should also start writing the paper due next week. argh, schoolwork! i'm having a blast...ha, no, honestly, i am. why does that sound like i'm trying to convince myself? but seriously, i'm the kind of person who doesn't mind studying...much rather do that than work in the real world. i'll enjoy school while it lasts...which won't be long enough for my liking.
