i've gotten progressivly worse at dealing with academic pressure...or i just haven't ever dealt with it before. freshman year i didn't really even think about stress or exams. then sophomore year i had my first tough class but just worked hard through it.

i'm glad it will be over this week, and i hope i can understand better how to work diligently while not letting it consume me.

in spite of how this sounds, i'm really doing okay. and still am hearing from God...it's a good week. i'm just not doing things how i used to.

graduating saturday!

start office manager in 11 days

start a marriage in 44 days...!!!!!!!!!!

good couple of weeks these last ones. had the appropriate view of schoolwork and i haven't been freaked out. it takes a daily trust that seems to be why i fall out of the peace so easily...i don't always have it.

good talk with sarah today - identifying areas of improvement - deepening my love for her.

life is unscripted - post college will be the least scripted yet. that too takes a trust that's scary for me. God is good, His grace is sufficient.

we had a white Christmas. it was supposed to be magical. we weren't expecting snow at all and we got some...actually, it's been sprinkling all day. unfortunately i got ugly and mistreated everybody i talked to...kind of discouraging. thankful for Grace today! merry Christmas.
