~*I decided to remove the comment about bible college from this post, as I was just probably being more of a jerk when I wrote it, apologies*~
This morning I wrote my last midterm. I think all of my midterms went well. Now I can take it easy, and get back into a more regular routine.
I’ve haven’t had too many inspiring thoughts to write about lately–school keeps me pretty busy, but I don’t mind. I am seriously considering doing graduate work when I’m done. I would say that there is a good possibility that I will apply for the graduate programme at LU when I’m done my HBSc–actually, at the moment my transcript says I’m in the BSc, but I will be changing that near the end of this year. There are a couple of reasons why I would like to do graduate work, and if anything I know for sure, I am not considering graduate school for the purpose of enhancing career opportunities. I enjoy the work, I enjoy learning and researching stuff related to this field, and this is probably what I would be doing anyway if I was not continuing school. The opportunity is there for me, and I know that I could do it quite easily with a lot of hard work that I would not mind doing anyway.
I think I could bless people, and make some sort of difference, positive, in the world around me. I think when I’m learning it pleases God–not that breathing wasn’t enough. I think I could do amazing things, I’m surely capable of it and making some sort of contribution because my own programmer is pretty awesome.
As a quick little aside, the next time you’re holding a baby, just think about what you are holding. That small little poop machine is doing something that is simply miraculous and no computational machine will ever begin to compare. It is recognizing patterns in speech, sounds… an enormous amount of calculations (if calculations is even the right word to use). That is the awesomeness of our Creator. And I was also thinking of how much it is a privilege that He lets us name our children, His children, just like He let Adam name all the animals.
I remember how the idea of going to school for any longer than you had to used to be a really scary thought. It doesn’t feel like that anymore. I don’t feel like I would be missing out on life. I know Jesus, so there is absolutely nothing that I could be missing out on. Through Him I am seeing real life.
You know, maybe I will even get my PhD. I would do that solely for Andrea, so she can officially call me Dr. Jones.
I could do it.
