November the 9th

I knew it was coming. I had plenty of notice. But I'm dumb. and scarred to fail. So I just ignored its looming existence. I have another art history test tonight. gah.

Part of my problem is I don't know how to effectively study.

Another part is I procrastinate.

The last part is I just don't want to do it...... aka laziness.

Yet in 1 1/2 hrs I will be taking my second survey of art history test. I failed the first one despite hours of cramming. I did find out the other day though that all I need is a D- to pass the class since it not one of my major classes. I know, I know. Way to aim low. Whatever. I'm not fooling myself. I just want to be done with this class. Sometimes, that's all that counts.

So I tried to make the studying experience as pleasant as possible.

Once I'm done with the test, I'm heading over to my in-law's house to hang out with Ally and Monique. They are leaving in the morning for a mission trip with a group of people from our church. Get this: they're going to Berlin. As in Berlin, Germany. Stinkin', freakin' awesome, no? I'm so excited for them. They're starting to get nervous as anything though. Ally has never flown before. And tomorrow she'll be stepping onto an 14 hr plane trip. Geez.

While they're there, they'll be working at the mission church, ministering to local prostitutes (prostitution is legal over there), touring a concentration camp, and who knows what else. The stories that come back from these trips are always fun to hear, so I'm looking forward to that.

This is such a great thing and God will get all the glory. He's provided everything and all they need to do is obey Him. What a blessing.
