Yesterday was a very awesome day. Lots of “God sightings” as we called them at UM Army. Here goes…
After my Spanish class I came home utterly exhausted. Tuesdays are rough, and this Tuesday was harder than usual. I knew I had to study for a quiz in Microeconomics, so I couldn’t take a nap. I start to study. Next thing I know I’m waking up and it’s 2:35 in the afternoon. Micro starts at 2:00. Crap! Fortunately my professor doesn’t give his quizzes until 3:00 so I run out the door and get to class. But I still haven’t studied. So I just ask for grace as I start working. I stay after class for a review session. We go over the quiz and I got a 9/10, which is as good as I’ve done on any quiz.
So I’m still in that study session because we’ve got a test on Monday. But all of a sudden I get the feeling that I should be leaving. I thought it was just me being lazy or something like that but the feeling got stronger. So I got up and left. I pulled out my cell phone as is my habit after class and see that I’ve got two missed calls. I know by the number that it’s from someone who works at the university. I’m thinking it’s Kyle, but it turns out to be someone on the SAC committee. She tells me that today is the day for our emergency budget request hearing and that this is the second time we’ve been told. I didn’t get an email about it and neither did Jon so I’m not sure what they mean by that. Anyway I call up Jon and we both manage to make it to that hearing. We’ll find out how much money we got in 48 hours.
I’m not so sure how well that hearing went. I think my general dislike and feeling of anger toward anyone working for the university (because of their past display of total incompetence) was evident in my tone. But it’s not like I was the only one who had an attitude. The SAC people are cocky. It’s one thing if they choose not to give us money, I just wish they wouldn’t act like we’re insects in their eyes. But I’m not going to stoop down and rub their egos so we find favor in their eyes.
That being said, I know I need to do better in the future with controlling my emotions. Next month I have to do this again in order to get funding for the spring semester. And I really can’t just expect to get money. In the past the SAC committee has been known to not give any Christian ministry any money just because they have that power.
Tonight we have Nav Night, and more than that we have a Worship Night. We added some pretty cool songs this month. I’m excited about some of the things I get to do. It’s going to be a fun night.
