Thursday

First off, I don't know about the rest of you students out there, but I feel like my brain is almost fried. But it seems like the more I work at studying and learning, the more I want to do it and am driven to do it. Weird. The feeling can only last so long... until next week when I'm done exams and can focus on other things...

Secondly, a friend told me a few weeks ago that concentrating and attending to studying takes the same energy and drive as prayer... I'm sure it must be true. The clear-mindedness and focus needed to study sounds like it fits into praying. It seems like praying that hard is more worthwhile than studying that hard, and yet here I am, studying away... albeit with a few more prayers thrown in.

Finally, in the midst of learning about deformities of the hand, burns, and energy conservation, as well as pondering many other fun events and complexities in life, a simple song sweetly snuck into my ears and mind:

Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Give me Jesus

Just Jesus. School, studying, friends, relationships, everything, as good and as sweet as they may be, can never lastingly surpass Jesus and everything He is to me. Weirdly, experiencing that thought made concentrating on school work a whole lot easier. I'm not doing this for me, or for this world alone.

And since I don't think I know much of anything for my exam tomorrow...
