Wow I've been neglecting this place a little bit. I just had two midterms today so I feel kinda light. My Music Midterm went fine. I didn't do to well on my Calculus midterm. That's what I suspect anyways.
Well except... the music midterm was annoying because we had to identify intervals and chords, and dictate harmonies and rhythms, but there were geese sqawking like crazy and the professor in the next classroom was playing these crazy arpeggiations.... very annoying. And that's a crazy run on sentence...
So I have homework due tomorrow for music theory, and my one on one midterm for music theory tomorrow too. Then I have to record my piece I wrote for music theory by Thursday. At least it's all music, and not Calculus =P.
Though I hope I don't do too terribly on Calculus. I don't want to fail a course ever again.

80% Sucess
Well I was able to keep my goal for the most part. I only stayed up and slept in really late 2 days out of the entire week. So I'm half-decently happy with myself. Of course I picked a bad day to stay up late: tomorrow I have church so I'm not going to enjoy waking up in the morning.
So for today, I have two tasks. I've been trying to meet with my hopefully future landlord this week, but the past 2 times didn't work out. Hopefully I'll be able to meet him today, and talk over renting his suite come September. I better shower first before I do that though.
Secondly I have to call the nice man who gives me rides to church. Too many times I have slept in or miscommunicated with him, causing him to wake up 20 minutes earlier in vain. I better call him tonight to confirm that I will need a ride tomorrow morning. Tsk tsk me.
And finally, just a little heads up that I might be sending out a prayer request for my finances again, regarding tuition. My summer finances and my non-tuition finances during school next year seems to be coming together, with the advice and prayer with my parents. Tuition is always a big chunk though. Comes with going to a private Christian University with no Public funding.
So if you could do some preliminary prayer for me before I actually find out the specifics of my financial situation with tuition. But also, please pray for a breakthrough to happen with the finances of Trinity Western University. This University is a community which strives to serve God in so many ways and does so with great success. However with recent drops in enrolment, it is hurting the school which depends on students' tuition for 90% of its operating costs. I think that if God can provide a miraculous means of funding for this University, the school would be freed to grow to its maximum potential, and the financial burden on students would no longer deter them from their studies and the amazing blessings which come with the Christian community here.

You're all I want
I think I'm finally starting to feel what it's like to get really caught up in life, especially from an adult's perspective. It really gets to the point where your self worth or sense of success depends on how much you have life figured out.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
It's too easy to forget that it's God's job to have life figured out, and it's your job to please him and glorify him. If you feel like the world is overwhelming you, you shouldn't feel nearly as panicked as when you're not making God happy.
You're all I want in heaven!
You're all I want on earth!
When my skin sags and my bones get brittle,
God is rock-firm and faithful.
So what I'm going to try to do is take a breather and give God my time. Giving God huge chunks of my time may jeopardize my success by the world's standards. However, after putting things into perspective, I'd rather be running toward God when I fail the world instead of running away from failing the world.
Besides, if I live for God by glorifying him and trying to please him, I'm going to have the best life ever. Living for a Dad who loves you and wants the best for you seems a better way to get through this life than to live for a world that lives by politics and would rather know you by number than by name.
