The results are in.

18 Dec

So if you’re reading the Twitter stream over there ———————————> (or following me on Twitter or a friend on Facebook) you already know that I made a 4.0 for the semester.  This is not super amazing since I was only taking 2 classes, but the math class was HARD.  It was 5 distinct math subjects (algebra, geometry, 4pointOhconsumer math, statistics, and probability) so it was really tough.  I’m used to math classes where you build on previous units rather than starting a whole new one every few weeks.  And the computer class…well, let’s just say I know how to use one but understanding how they work is a different story.  Once we got past that part I did well enough to pull an A out of it.

This gives me a cumulative 4.0.  Amazing stuff, considering I’ve never had anything even close to a 4.0 in my life, much less a cumulative 4.0.  Granted, this is only 3 classes.  But I also have 3 kids now and a whole host of responsibilities I didn’t have the first time around.  This time though, I am more driven, more focused.  And I have a ton of people cheering me on.  It makes me feel good to know that I’m not disappointing them.

On the 6th day of Christmas…

18 Dec

Let’s have something a little less frivolous today, shall we?  Not to be a total cliche, but I’d love to see peace on earth and goodwill to men.  All of mankind, all loving and treating each other the way we’d like to be treated ourselves.  That one thing, this small thing that should be our automatic inclination no matter who we are, is the one thing that would make me happiest.  I am the eternal optimist.  I have all kinds of hope in my heart.  And it destroys me sometimes to see the hate in this world.  Hate towards people who are, at their very core, the same as you and I.  Oh, they may be a different race or religion.  They may come from a different country or have had different opportunities than us.  But if you proclaim to be a Christian then you know that God put every single man, woman, and child on this earth for a reason.  To challenge us, to love us, to teach us, to support us…to provide something that nobody else can provide in exactly the same way.  So let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
