Well...

I did the hard math (though not actually difficult) and it comes out I may have a possibility of actually still getting an A, but it still upsets me that I did so terrible. But should I really? I mean, it is a reflection on how little I heed directions or pay attention and how much more I should be studying, but it is just one grade. A superficial reflection of performance. I mean there are reasons colleges ask for recommendations from teachers and not just their transcript. On the other hand,  “whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17 I have been given an opportunity to participate in Academic Decathlon and doing poorly in it is not giving thanks to God. I am not saying that you cannot ‘fail’ for Jesus, nor that getting an A is doing it in His name, but I don’t think that Jesus wants me to half-donkey it. He wants me to full-donkey it. (I have been waiting to use that =P ). In being in Decathlon I need to be an image of Christ in all manners, and I believe my work ethic is a part of that.

Well… I guess I should stop being a hypocrite and study and finish the homework for my Psych final tomorrow.
