Just a note....

Just a quick hello, readers! It's Thursday, at noon, and I am at the library on a long lunch hour, studying for the final --- which is in two days. I can't tell you how ready I am for math to be over with. But I also know that when it's done, I'll be wondering what I'm supposed to do with all this extra time on my hands!! There's always a strange lull, a feeling that you're supposed to be doing something, when a class ends. Or maybe its just me; I tend to put myself into a rigid routine of getting assignments done. Here's why:

When I was growing up, my folks took us to church every Sunday. One of my Sunday school classes was taught by the Pastor. As it is with pre-teenagers, some can never resist asking questions. And he was always wonderful about being honest in answers, which is probably what made him such a likeable person. Anyways, someone asked him how he came up with topics for writing sermons, and the conversation came around to waiting til the last minute, or being done on a schedule. He told us that if he didn't have his sermon written by Friday night, he had a horrible nightmare about having to give his sermon in the nude, and that's what kept him on his rigid schedule of making sure it was done on time :)

Since hearing that story, I never wanted to have nightmares like that! And in growing up, I was almost always good about having assignments done on time; I was never the kind who would have a late night cram/jam session! Which means most times, I slept well, and didn't have the nekkid nightmare ... at least, I didn't have it because I didn't get my assignment done on time! The whole speaking in public thing.... that was a different matter!
HUGS to everyone!
