spring 2009, week 9

i'm tempted to sit here and be bitter and complain about my grade that i got for my presentation. i ran out of time, so i didn't get to get graded on anything i didn't cover yet, so i missed a lot of points. i still passed, but not with a grade i wanted or felt i could have got.

but then i think,
my friends all passed too, and did really well and i'm happy for them
it's friday
the sun is out and it won't be 100 degrees today
i'm seeing my friends tomorrow and eating dim sum
i get to see my doggy
and i know my dad and mom will give me a hug and a kiss when i get home

and
there's other people out there, some of whom are close to my heart, who are going through far more difficult things than a bad grade.
there's brain tumors and thyroid tumors, there's life changes like moving away, being far away from the people you love. there's bad roommates and broken hearts.
there's so many places where we all need Jesus.
