Crunch Time.

...and I don't mean the 15 or so minutes before I leave for zero period during which I consume copious amounts of Cap'n Crunch.

I mean that over the past two weeks I've been attacking calculus, (perfecting my area-finding and slope seeking abilities,) mauling government, (and I don't mean the tone of my last blog*,) and tackling English (both literature and language, if you please,) in a final effort to be as prepared as I can for these AP tests in May.

You see, God gave me this really awesome vision a couple weeks ago concerning my future, but it also dealt with my present... ever heard of the Parable of the Talents? God's given me talents in the form of intelligence and quick learning. When He calls them into account, a I going to say? "I did okay in college, but ended up with a lot of debts and so I couldn't do too much for You later on." Or will I hand what is His to Him and say, "Here, You gave me these, and I did all that I possible could with them."

Awesome! I guess that since I accepted Christ, I've been thinking in the back of my mind, "well I can do good in school, but that requires a lot of work, and since Jesus is all that I need, it doesn't really matter if I get sorta lazy." But ever since about two weeks ago, my mind's clear and focused... and the Parable of the Talents is practically tattooed on my face.

Lemme at 'em!
