Currently Listening Nothing Is Sound By Switchfoot see related

Pictures!

• Vault and BBQ chips are the best fuel to get through a 3-hour physics class
• When there's no way to get out of the required freshman-level music lit class, you might as well just sit in the back and talk online during the lectures
• Seeing a friend's smiling face in the middle of a totally packed and stressful day on campus can brighten that day like nothing else
• It's not a very good idea to be in charge of the titration for your lab group when you've only had an hour of sleep and a Java Chip
• However, if you're GOING to be in charge of the above titration, it's good to be sure the tip of your buret is securely fastened to the cylinder so that the acid inside does not spill everywhere
• Some people don't care if the final IS open book/open notes ... they'll still cheat
• A 20-minute nap- in the car, in the library, or on a bench outside - can go a long way to fueling the rest of the day
• Required concerts are generally no fun ... unless you can sit with a friend and laugh through them.
  
• It doesn't matter if your team *does* lose by 20+ points.... if you get to sing the debut of the brand-new fight song with blue and green streaked sparkly hair, it was a good game
• Helping a bunch of younger brothers with their chemistry homework is a whole lot more fun than doing your own
  
• If you shake badly enough while performing in front of people, your piano teacher will try to drug you
• It's not a good idea to drive away from school with your physics book on the top of your car
• It IS a good idea to bring your calculator to your chemistry test
• If you're going to hang out and talk and be late for choir in doing so, it's probably best NOT to hang out and talk right in the lobby of the music modular
• God is just as much in control when your car breaks down and you get to school with 15 minutes to take a test, as when you get a B+ on the test you could've sworn you failed
• A choir full of uncoordinated clapping-challenged music majors *can* learn to clap in snych ... it just takes a while
• Although not recommended, it is possible to write a final term paper in the hour and a half before it's due
• Leading the choir is harder than it sounds. ... but not so bad when you're used to dealing with a room full of middle schoolers every wednesday night
• The way to measure how long a bow after a performance should last is this: bow. look at your shoes. ask yourself "did i tie my shoes?" answer yourself "yes i tied my shoes." then, and ONLY then, can you come up from your bow.
• While practicing your bow it is acceptable to say these things outloud. For some reason this is not acceptable in an actual performance.
• People look at you funny when you wear your rollerblades into class
• There are few things more inspirational and challenging than rooming with a nursing student who just won't quit
  
• In Iran, my name is pronounced "RAH-bekah"
• Physics can ruin your life. Instead of just watching the kid you're babysitting roll down the driveway in his little car, you'll wonder what angle the driveway has in respect to the ground in order to give the car such acceleration
• My bookbag really *is* waterproof!
• The green Vault tastes better than the red. But sometimes it's good to get the red kind just to mix things up a bit
• When you're tired enough, it just doesn't matter if you're wearing a "business casual" suit with sneakers and a giant hoodie
• Although doing homework during recital class is thought of as "good time management" by several music majors, it is, in fact, frowned upon by most professors
• "Welcome to Mooooooe's!" is one of the best things you can hear at the end of a school day
• It is, in fact, possible to fail a test to the glory of God
• Trying to tell a herd of nursing students that the classroom they want to get into will be open in just a few minutes is an exercise in futility
• Contrary to popular belief, being nice to the baristas does *not* always mean you'll get a good frappuccino
• Hearing your sisters talk about subjects whose names you can hardly pronounce (like "epistemology" and "pathophysiology") suddenly makes physics and chemistry seem not so bad
• Half of doing well in a piano jury is just looking good
• It's ok to step out of class to make a phone call, especially if you're calling your mom because you just need to cry
• It is very difficult to play arpeggios with a brownie in one hand

Currently Listening This Moment By Steven Curtis Chapman see related

It is all mercy!

It is profitable to consider what I deserve,
and what I enjoy, to awaken self abasement,
and gratitude.

If the righteous Lord were to deal with me
according to my deservings, I would at this
moment be under the rack of excruciating pain;
or, under the pressure of most abject poverty;
thus feeling the foretaste of eternal woe.

If thus dealt with in strictest justice, Death
would receive his commission to hurl my
affrighted soul into the gulf of endless
misery, there to remain an everlasting
monument of the vengeance of a holy God.

All short of this is mercy!

Do I enjoy a portion of health?
It is all mercy!

Am I undergoing a sanctified affliction?
It is all mercy!

Do I partake of the bounties of Providence?
It is all mercy!

Do I possess dear, affectionate friends?
It is all mercy!

Do I experience the love of God in Christ,
pardoning my sins, and purifying my heart?

Oh! this is mercy beyond the power
of language to praise or to express!

Rejoice in such a Savior, who snatched
you as a brand out of the burning!
