Summertime Blues
I actually don't have them. Summertime Blues come because you are bored- there's nothing to do. Well, aside from the two classes which each have a full course load of information jammed into one month, I have plenty of Drama. I won't go into it. I will just leave this piece of wisdom that a classmate once gave me:
Women, you can't live with them, they can't pee standing up.*
That's actually not true. It is just a convenient explanation for women's behavior.
(*Don't read anything into this, Brittany)
This last semester, my mom said that girls were the cause of my grades dropping. (2A's & 3B's)
In a sense, that's true. I had so much trouble with the three women who were supposed to be helping me with SDC. It seemed we were always in conflict. I had to worry, not only about running the organization, but also about whether i was going to have the support of my officers. This aggravated me to no end because I brought them in to help me, not to criticize...
That's when the piece of advice above was given. That's when that piece of advice was funny and pertained to me. Now, it's not the same...
Something to think about:
Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then Peter came to him and asked, "Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?"
22 "No!" Jesus replied, "seventy times seven!
23 "For this reason, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.
24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars.
25 He couldn't pay, so the king ordered that he, his wife, his children, and everything he had be sold to pay the debt.
26 But the man fell down before the king and begged him, 'Oh, sir, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.'
27 Then the king was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.
28 "But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.
29 His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. 'Be patient and I will pay it,' he pleaded.
30 But his creditor wouldn't wait. He had the man arrested and jailed until the debt could be paid in full.
31 "When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him what had happened.
32 Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me.
33 Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?'
34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison until he had paid every penny.
35 "That's what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters in your heart."
Women, you can't live with them, they can't pee standing up.*
