I Think Calvin has the Right Idea

So, yesterday I had my first chemistry class.

It.  Was.  Horrible.

I had no idea how much math was involved.  I spent more time doing math than actually learning about science.  I don't think it's fair that they make you do two subjects at once.  Especially when one of those subjects is math.

Bleck.

I think Calvin has a brilliant idea....




















...Too bad I'm home schooled.

Oh, well.  I'll probably end up learning a lot.  Plus my teacher is a ton of fun.  He makes sound effects when he adds up problems.  He is awesome.  Besides, if I want to go to a good college, I can't really get out of it.  Curse our ridged educations system that somehow thought it was necessary for every child to know how to do scientific notations.

At least I have American Vision and Values to look forward to.  I've only read 29 pages in the book, and it already looks like this class will be epic.

Anyways...
Until I write again, au revoir.

Oh Irony

When I started writing my previous post Sunday night, I had no idea how relevant it was.  Since then God has tested the dedication to completely surrender my future to Him, and it hasn't been fun.

On Monday something happened that I had hopped would happen for a while, but never really thought would.  Then on Tuesday, God let me know that now was not the time for it, and that it might not ever be the right time for it.  After two days of excitement and happiness, to find out that it couldn't happen now was very hard for me.  But what made it really difficult was that a short while before He said no, I had felt sure it was the right thing to do, and that God was going to let it happen.

I don't really understand why those two days happened, or why God would give me this, and then take it away.  But I do trust Him.  I know He has a plan, that He is in control, and that even though now it is disappointing, it is for the best.  But sometimes complete surrender can be very tough.

Until next time, au revoir.
