TGIF!!!!!

It's ten til midnight as I start typing this. And I can't believe it. I have survived the week from hell. Not the Marching Knight week from hell, where we had 9 or 10 consecutive days of band activities on top of school and homework, but college week from hell. The week where you look at the vast pile of homework and the teeny amount of time you have to get it done...and panic. It's over. I survived. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!
Granted, this is probably nowhere near as bad as it will someday get to be. But still. I was stressed. And now it's done.
I still have a slight amount of work to do. The paper? Well...seeing as I *must* interview a prof, and said prof hasn't been in his office every time I can do the interview, it's still on the backburner. *But* we're not getting back real late on Sunday. I'm trying again for the interview tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, I'm going for email. I'll at least interview Chelsea and start that end of the paper. The IS readings? Ummm...getting there. They're not long. Two hours TOPS. The RE studying? CHECK!!! 2.5 hours on the third floor of Vogel. *Six* Bible dictionaries. Massive looking up and interpreting. There's still more to go, but 2.5 solid hours of studying alone is a record. A great record. And I'm pleased with myself :) and I hope to break that record sometime soon. It's a start, seeing as this is the first time ever where I've actually had to study. I'm still adjusting. But it's going well. Oh and the speech...completely DONE!!! :D I'm still happy about that one. The RE worksheets? Done on Monday. Three of my IS readings and the movie worksheet? Also done on Monday. I did pretty darn well, considering my habitual procrastinator disadvantage.
And speaking of the devil that is RE...well...I HATE that class. It has me SOOOO angered at the moment. Not because of the fact that I'm not doing so well grade wise or because of the test. Because of a previous assignment. We were going over the book of Job, where this good-doing guy by the name of Job has a whole bunch of unfortuante things happen, and no one can figure out why. In class, we watched a speech by one guy who said suffering is random and not God caused. We read a journal by another guy who said suffering is a part of God's plan, none of it is without purpose. We had to write a brief paragraph on which we believed and why. I stated I believed the second one, about God having a plan, because when I was 7 and my mom had cancer and my noni was taking care of me, whenever I got upset, that's what she would tell me. God has a plan, everything happens for a reason, however it works out...it was meant to be. I got that paper back the other day.
Here is my prof's response, and I quote:
"Okay, but then you would have to explain to one [or me, I can't tell which] how it could be wrong for me to say, break my daughters bones so that my son would realize how fortunate he is not to have to wear a cast! Were I to do such a thing, I would rightly be locked away. How is it that we can ascribe such behavior to God. Here's another one: by your rationale, 9/11 was an act of God since "everything happens in accord with God's plan." [which, btw, is NOT how I worded that] Does it really? Did 9/11? If so, what sort of God is that?"
And there's a B circled at the bottom of the page. That's the only thing he wrote on my paper. No other reasons for the grade. Just an attack on my belief. And I am steaming.
*begin rant*
There are very few things I'm extremely passionate about. This belief of mine tops the list. It is my longest standing, most established belief besides my belief in God existing. What he wrote on my paper is an attack on that. You ask for my opinion, I give my opinion. That was the point of the assignment. This class is supposed to be objective, as in just a study of the Bible. A literary study. Not a belief attack. I have never been so angry at a teacher than I am now. I don't care if someone's opinion differs from mine! My philosophy is be and let be! I would never attack someone due to a difference in opinion or belief. So why attack me????? Obviously, he doesn't share this opinion. The attacking one and the God's plan one. AAAHHH I cannot express my anger enough!!!!!! I AM STILL STEAMING! And I've had this paper in my hands since Wednesday!!!! I've vented to two or three other people, my mom included, and I've vented through writing a few times now...It's not working. Not at all. I had respect for my prof. Until this. AAAAHH
*end rant*
I am talking to him tomorrow. Hopefully, he won't set me off, which is rather easy to do at this point in time on this topic, because if I am set off, I will explode. And I mean explode. >:P It won't be pretty.
On a lighter note...geez this post got long...ooops.
IT'S 12 :22!!!!!!!!!! FRIDAY AT LAST!!!!!!!! YAY HOORAY *dances* YESSSSS I survived! And my hair is still in my head, not in my fists!!! :D :D :D
Ok...bed...sleep...and more excitement :) Oh I can't wait til we leave...
