The Double-Edged Sword

(school, church) At church yesterday, one of my Dad's friends came up to me and asked me how things were going. I told him, honestly, that I was nervous, because finals start on Wednesday. Then we started making funny biblical quotes at each other - along the lines of "the great and terrible day of reckoning is at hand". "And those who have procrastinated the day of their [preparation] will find it is everlastingly too late!" "And there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth" etc., etc., etc.
Good hearted ribbing, (until I realized how freaked out I really am over finals - I really want to do well - especially in Copyright this Wednesday). Like a lot of things, we laugh because it's funny, and we laugh because it's true. Back to Oregon today. Gotta get packing and moving out.
