I've always had mixed feelings about exam week. On the one hand, I probably get less sleep during this time than...well... ever, but on the other hand, I somehow manage to get to spend more time with people than usual. Not a bad trade in my book.
Of course, the logical thing to do when you have 60 trillion things to do is listen to music on YouTube, and guess what I remembered? A video of me and one of my friends, Christian, singing "Falling Slowly" in the Chi Alpha spring talent show a year ago (Woop woop!) Ironically, the words of the song really seem to match how I feel right before I start praying furiously (that is not the right word, but I haven't thought of the one that's right yet...frantically? Fervently? One of those...) before studying for an exam/ writing a paper/ taking aforementioned exam. If Jesus and I had a conversation in song lyrics, it would be this:
ME:
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time (...????)
Jesus:
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now....
It's so great to hear those words: hope, and you've made it. And when I think back over how blindingly fast this semester has wizzed by, it seems like it was only 5 minutes ago that it was January, and I was up blogging at midnight the night before classes, because I was too excited to start class the next day and couldn't sleep. What a nerd.
Wow. This semester has been a beautiful and joyous one.
