Quote

I beg you… to have patience
with everything unresolved
in your heart
 and try to love the questions themselves
 as if they were locked rooms or
 books written in a very foreign language.
Don’t search for the answers,
which could not be given you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything. 

Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually,
without ever noticing it,
live your way into the answer… 

- Rainer Maria Rilke -

Mathematical Miracles

I took a math placement test today, after doing no math for two years.
I didn't study.
My relationship with math is comparable to oil and water. I loathe math. And I suck at it.
Honestly, a lot of my answers were guesses.

I didn't think I'd get into the class I wanted to. I placed into the class at a different college--two years ago. Of course THIS college wouldn't accept those test scores...but that's a different story.

Miracle of all miracles,  I placed into the class I wanted!!
Thank You Jesus.
Even though Christmas isn't a part of my vocabulary this year, no festivities, decorations, or presents, this was one of God's *many* gifts to me this month.

And now I finally feel as though my winter break has really, truly, FINALLY begun!!!!!!!!!

I found two more cool things from weheartit.com and I have to share before I go to bed.



I hope everyone experiences Christmas miracles this week--no matter how big or small they are!

Studying? DO NOT READ!!

IMPORTANT:

If you are cramming for finals, the following sites you absolutely must NOT visit, for fear of hours of wasted productive time. They are as follows:

www.cakewrecks.com (being a baking junkie and a fun-country person, I get a kick out of this site)
www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com (never ceases to amaze me how awkward some of these get...)
Anything that ends with blogspot.com. (Bunny-trail galore! Need I say more??)
www.yahoo.com (I can forever click on the newsfeed and read articles/watch videos)
www.youtube.com (sure, good for getting good study songs. but much easier to just, well, watch videos.)
www.craigslist.com (not just for finding jobs or cool junk. it's amazing what you can read on this thing!)
www.twitter.com/ (easy to spend HOURS clicking on tweets,retweets, pics, and twitter accounts)
www.weheartit.com (I think the creativeness intrigues me.)
www.tiffanytreece.tumblr.com (shameless plug! I spent forever looking at this. I just discovered it yesterday, and well, it is bringing me oodles of happiness!!)

* disclaimer * sometimes these sites have some, well, inappropriate content...so I can't take any responsibility stuff that isn't perfectly 100% clean. As always, browse smartly! =)


It sounds like I seriously need to unplug and get a LIFE. Or maybe a less dorky life. At LEAST I'm not spending 95% of my internet time on Facebook. I cannot. stand. facebook.

Okay, Sociology. I HEAR you already!! I must go now.
Toodles! I hope if you have finals this week you are focusing better than me!!
Before I go, I must share this--I found it yesterday and cracked up when I read this. I don't like this cartoon. I've never watched a full episode of Spongebob in my life. But I think this is hilarious. : D Enjoy!!
