I am 2 paragraphs shy of finishing my paper!!!
I've been working diligently (well maybe not diligently until today) on my religion paper all weekend. 8 pages almost done, I've had pretty much all semester to finish it but I decided for whatever reason that it would be best to wait until the weekend before it was due to start it. You would think I'd have learned by now...but no...I don't care, I'm almost done and I needed a mental health break!

1. Good going
will be worth it over time. Take a word of advice from a Mother of a procrastinator and former student herself, getting an earlier start next time....lol

I envy you. I'm at the office doing work I could have done last week.

May your paper receive a good grade!

4. okey dokey...
well now I'm actually finished with the damn thing...woo hoo! but it's an exegetical paper on the Gospel of Matthew Ch 5:1-12. Basically its a line by line analysis of the Sermon on the Mount. It was a lot harder than I originally thought it was going to be...I was going cross eyed reading all of those biblical interpretations.

5. Congrats, Rev
I wish I could write an 8 page paper in a weekend. When I was in college I started all of my stuff as soon as possible because I knew it was going to take me forever to get it done. It took me a week to research and write a 9 page paper once. Then I had to edit after the first draft and that took a couple of days.

6. My friend used to call those "Exit-Jesus" papers
Because the more he had to write them, the farther Jesus was from his mind.

8. My favorite person of faith used to say,
"I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says I can't say *uck and *hit." So he didn't let it stop him. Gotta love those reformed Lutherans.
