First week back to class

As a student (again) of FSU, this week has been quite frustrating. I have been dropped from a total of four classes and I have only been reinstated into one of them. I must say that I am slowly learning to check all of my emails in all of my email accounts. I am apparently not receiving important messages containing information that I need to know simply because I do not think to check my emails. Lessons learned.

It all kind of climaxed this morning in my waking up at 6:45 in the morning, and not really being able to back to sleep because I can hear my neighbors shouting, or speaking loudly, or something. So I got up with an itch to clean, get chores done, and read in God's word.

As I was cleaning I got to thinking about what I was going to do in the future. If I cannot re-add the class that I have lost (and add/drop ended on 8/27) then I will be farther behind in my scholastic goal of finishing my pre-med courses and applying by 2012. This is not to say that I could not catch up, but it would be more difficult. However, it got me thinking about what I am wanting to do with my life. Is all this school really necessary for me, or am I afraid of simply not being a student anymore?

It was in the book of Psalms that I was reading and it was quite encouraging, particularly Psalms 3: 4-5, which states:

"⁴I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me." (KJV)

And then in chapter 5 verses 7 and 8.

" ⁷ But I, by your great mercy,
will come into your house;
in reverence will I bow down
toward your holy temple.

⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make straight your way before me." (NIV)

I particularly like verse 8 there.

How has your first week gone? Is there anything that has been frustrating you, but perhaps you can see how God is working through it?
