long last day at school

So here's how my last day of classes went.
started off with a visit to my prof's office. she said that Christian ethics were bad because they're too servile or humble, cause Christians take insults and beating without fighting back. We discussed it for a while, and came to the conclusion that it could be pragmatic, but the text doesn't suggest that. What it suggests that we should be imitators of God, who suffered unjustly for people to reconcile them to God, Christians should seek the same. BUT it got real interesting cause she asked me if i believed Christians should seek to convince others of their faith, and I was like "Yes."
so i spent 20 minutes responding to some good challenges about what justifies a rational belief in Christianity.. she said she respected that I believed religion is "not immune to evidence," but that my belief was irrational. i really respect that prof, and i think that convo was one of the most valuable all year..

Anyways, that's the first hour, then came 1 1/2 of class, then another class, where i found out that i had an essay due THAT CLASS. heh. so i got someone to send me the notes and jetted. handed it in a day late, hoping for a B+.

THEN talked with another dude bout the faith for a while, he said he didn't feel like he had sinned big enough to need forgiveness from God. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" didn't phase him. Hopefully I'll see him again sometime.

FINALLY, i had a 2 1/2 hr exam on material i had spent a total of 2 hrs studying for. i'm hoping for a B.
couldn't sleep on the way home cause two guys were attempting to be friends behind me..

then i hit the hay by 11ish. i think that may have been the only night of the school year i was in bed by 11.. i think i could've handled more though..
