Is my worst enemy.
I struggle with it day in, day out. Which is kind of pathetic. Cause what am I going to do about it by worrying about it? NOTHING. That's the thing...it's called uncertainty - not knowing my future. Sounds scary. However, it shouldn't. Why? Cause to God, there is no such thing as uncertainty. And that's all that matters. For God's plans are better than my plans. He knows my WHOLE life and it will ALL turn out for good. So what should I do? Stop worrying!
I love planning, I love thinking about my future, I love dreaming, and most of the time I am up for a little spontaneity. However, if this makes sense, I hate change. Why? Cause it's different, it's something I'm not used to, it's uncomfortable. For as long as I can remember, I regularly find myself thinking, "This time next year I will be..." and it is easy for me to come up with a general idea of what that looks like. However, I was thinking this the other day and I scared myself...I couldn't come up with an answer! The only thing I could think of was that I would be done with college. Yes, only one more year of college! I never thought the end would be in sight. But now it is...in the distant future, but it is very real. And even though it is exciting, it is UNCERTAIN. Cause who knows what I will be doing this time next year? I like to think that I have a general idea. But when I look at it, that is all MY plans and not God's. What does God have in store? Well, He's not telling me that yet. But that's okay, because I have a whole year. And I do know, that whatever it is, it is good. :)

Crazy Wednesday/Thursday
You know you have a crazy day when you can't take 5 minutes to sit and write about it! Hence the reason today's post is covering both yesterday and today :)
What I accomplished yesterday: Chemistry test (LAST ONE!), LAST Logic lecture, Probability and Statistics project
Today: sleep in :) (a little), Sports in Society homework, Probability and Statistics presentation, LAST Probability and Statistics class, Logic take-home final
Comforting focus of the day: God is my strength in weakness! Whenever I feel at the end of my rope, He always supplies me with strength to persevere. He encourages me through others as well.
EMBRACE THE DAY!

Crazy Monday
This week is the week right before final exams, aka - CRAZY WEEK! There is no other way to go about this week than to just take it one day at a time. So, that is how my blog posts are going to go this week...one day at a time.
Today - 3 classes, work on Probability and Statistics project, work on Chemistry lab presentation.
Comforting focus of the day - I am so thankful that God is in control and not me! His plan is PERFECT. If I abide in Him, then He will take care of me by giving me the strength, patience, endurance, focus and organization to complete everything that I need to.

Simple Memories
I LOVE CHRISTMASTIME! Something about this time each year just makes everyone more joyful in general. The world is more cheery, carefree, and just uplifting. It is the time of family traditions, which I am a big sucker for. I mean, if we don't do the SAME EXACT thing each year, it throws me for a loop...so tradition is good :)
Today my family is doing what we always do the Saturday after Thanksgiving...hunting for our Christmas tree! This is always quite the adventure for the Grass family. No, we have down finding the perfect tree, it's getting it to stand up at home that we struggle with.
You see, there were about 3 consecutive years where we would find the perfect tree at the tree farm, but once we got home, we noticed that the trunk was crooked...WAY crooked. Our solution? Put nails into the wall, tie strings to the trunk of the tree, and pray it stays standing once we tie the strings to the nails. Usually it works, but it takes quite the skill.
Before we would leave the house, we would pray that when we returned, the tree would still be standing...but that only happened about fifty percent of the time. It got quite humorous actually...besides the fact that our floor would end up soaking wet, a few presents got soggy, and a couple of ornaments broke in the process.
One time our tree fell over and we were actually home. My sister and I were in the kitchen and my dad was sleeping in the recliner right next to the tree. The tree never fell over while we were at home. Whenever we first noticed the tree was leaning, we would immediately fix it so it wouldn't fall over. Well, all of a sudden my sister and I heard the tree fall over...right on top of dad! It was quite the sight.
Needless to say, we ALWAYS check the trunk of the tree before it is dubbed 'perfect tree'.

Just for Fun
So, I got distracted while researching for my papers and found these...
-Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
-I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
-We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police.
-The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
-Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
-If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
-We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
-War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
-Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
-Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
-Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
-Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
-To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
-How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
-A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
-Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
-Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR". What's my mother going to do?
-I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
-The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
-Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
-The sole purpose of a child's middle name, is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
-Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
-Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
-Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.
-My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
-I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours.
-To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
-A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist.
-A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.
-If winning isn't everything why do they keep score?
-A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.

When I Become Rich (and Lazy)
I will hire someone to wash my hair.
I went to get my haircut yesterday. My favorite part?? When my hairdresser scrubs and scrubs and scrubs my head. It's so relaxing and feels so awesome. It was definitely a treat after washing my hair with hard water in the lovely dorm showers for 5 weeks!
