I am burned out. Thankfully, Fall Break is next week. I didn't get to drop PHP because the professor, again, wasn't there today. I mentioned to my Special Topics class I was dropping it, and Robert said something that pissed me off. "The Great Shawn Latta dropping a course?" I don't know if that was meant as a compliment, but I took it as an insult. I might have good grades, but I work for them. People may think I'm spoiled. I know I am. However, I have worked hard and gone through a lot of emotional hell to get to the point I am today. I've got the right to admit that I've overextended myself.

The picture shows the attraction of the day on campus. This "preacher" man comes on campus to tell all the students we're going to hell and that he's a holy one. He tells us what's required to be saved. I listened to his stuff a bit after Calc class. Personally, I think he has a screw or two loose. He's getting a high off the students that yell at him and debate him. I wish the others would learn to ignore him. He can spout all his Christian rhetoric all he wants. He claims he lives this life. But, I wondered does he really understand. Seems he told the Catholics their going to hell. He told my Muslim classmate from Calc he's going to hell. Seems everyone's going to hell in his life. He makes all Christians look like nut jobs.

We're not. My mother had a philosophy. "They will know we are Christians by our ways." She felt that it was better to do Christian acts in addition to saying you're a Christian. In fact, she wouldn't do stuff and claim she was doing it because she's a Christian. She would do stuff because she lived by Christian ideals. She felt action said more than words. I think the same as her. I help others because it's the right thing to do, not because I'll get glory from it. Maybe this preacher man could have spent his time helping others in need instead of berating college students for the lives they lead.

This reminds me of a picture I drew in Wesley last week. We were to draw how we saw God. My picture was of the old man version. One side of his face had a frown. Another side had a smile. His hand were held out to hug. The meaning behind the respresentation was that we're do sin. However, God and Jesus do frown upon us but still loves us. The hug and the smile shows that he loves us.

I think if this guy attacked my character, I'd have to tell him off. He doesn't know us. He was judging us. Therefore, wasn't he violated God's rules by judging us?

I found out how I did on my tests from Thursday. I got an 80 on the Calc test. My average in that class is an 87. I got a 97.5 on my Client/Server test. At least no one made fun of my grade on that. Poor Bobby got stuck with that. However, we all know Bobby's the smartest of us all.

After school, I stopped by Wal-Mart and got The Little Mermaid and Lady and the Tramp. Beth grew up with The Little Mermaid. She was about a year and a half when it came out. I got her the deluxe addition with a CD of songs from and inspired from the movie. Was she excited about that! I didn't know if had Lady and the Tramp, so I got a copy just in case. Figured we should have it with all the other Disney movies we have.

Oh, my Savannah Flickr Set is up!
