New Math

When I was in high school a friend taught me that 2 + 2 = 5 can be "mathmatically proven." Of course I thought he was losing his mind... so he showed me. Based on the idea that whatever you do to one side of an equation, as long as you do it to the other side as well, they will remain equal, here it goes....

2 + 2 = 5
4 = 5 (multiply each side by 2)
8 = 10 (subtract 9 from each side)
-1 = 1 (square each side)
1 = 1

Pretty cool, eh?

What does it take?

I found myself crying last night. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not much of a teary-eyed person, so this was a pretty big deal for me. I've been so concerned that I'm losing everything: (mostly my money- which effects my education, rent, even my car). I was freting that if I lose these things, I can't earn more money, and then my hole will be even bigger. Then something occured to me as I was praying last night with my roommates. One of my profs last semester prayed a prayer that will never leave me. He said, "God, we oftentimes say that You are all we need, but we will never truly believe that until You are all we have." So, I prayed that God would take away everything. A scary thought, but a much needed one. Everytime I worry about something, I'm proving how little I think of God and His power. What an idiot I can be...

Classes

So, I'm taking 9 hours this semester. I don't really have a steady job for Friday and Saturday, but I usually work a few hours. I have been holding out to do some substitute teaching on Fridays, but honestly, I got one call last semester, so it doesn't look very promising. With that in mind, I am thinking of taking another class on Fridays. I need to take Formations, but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about the prof. Part of it is the money, of course, but another part is that if I add 2 more hours, will my other 9 suffer? Alas, what's a girl to do???

My Big Secret

I like school. Yes, it's true. It's time that I admit it to the world. I love the tests and trying to show everyone that I'm smarter than I look. I love getting straight A's even though I pretend that I don't care what I get. I still don't like writing papers, but I don't think that I ever will. Don't tell anyone that I said any of this.... I don't want the word getting out....
