is it worth it to torture yourself pulling an all-nighter just so that you can get a perfect on your bio b midterm? 2 words: heeeeeeeaallll yea! :D

the rain's starting all over again at ucd(to be honest i was kinda surprised that it came back; so that was what that drumming sound was all night when i was cramming)... i'm guessing it's like this in the bay area too, going off of what i saw in mandy's profile... man, i'm so stuck up in gaming and getting myself down with not studying harder and putting down the controller that i forgot what it's all about... i remember when i used to embrace the rain... that was last school year... there's a sort of beauty in it... screw the fact that you're getting wet(and if you're too shallow to see beyond the fact of that, i hope god knocks some sense into you)... i'm not talking about the childish urge to go splash around in puddles... i'm talking about the rain that seems to fall with the same rhythm to "blessed be your name" by matt redman(but the free version is performed by tree63 at grassrootsmusic.com)... and just gazing up in its embrace, feeling god's grace... thinking of how wonderful and awesome god's design is... it's stuff like this that just reminds me and etches back into my mind of the power of god, his beauty and grace, how shallow most of us are to see it, and how the tiniest flick of god's finger can send us scrambling like that... (once i go back home, after i eat, i think i'm going outside and gazing at the rain; i think i need the quiet time)... reminds me, maybe i need to redo the rain recording that i did back home... maybe it'll sound better... heh heh... one's thing for sure; it seems too short...

but getting back... i bet jesus never rested after his daily victories... so i did well on this midterm... that's good, but i should pick up the pace right after i go home and keep studying even though i'm beat from no sleep... that way i hit the bed early and get up good and rested early to do it all over again... after all, like i always say, it's crunch time... even more so when you gotta bring up your grades and free up your time...
