Last Day of Classes!!

WOO HOO!!!!! I am done with classes!! Well, done with classes until the 23rd. There is still one more day of classes but tomorrow the college choir is going to Reading, PA to record for the next college CD that will be coming out sometime before the end of the school year. We are leaving at 5:00 in the morning!! Insane! It is a several hour trip, and I guess that if we were to leave even half an hour later than that we would get stuck in traffic in the city and add another hour or so to our travelling time!! YUCK either way!
I think classes went well today, but to be honest, my brain really wasn't on classes, it had already gone into spring break mode! I did get a 92 on my Intro to Missions midterm! English Grammar is the only class that I don't yet have my midterm results.
After classes I was able to go with Mrs. Phillips to Port Jefferson. We were going to go to a thrift store, but they were closed. :( We ended up going to Dunkin Donuts instead and were able to sit and chat for about an hour. It was sooooo wonderful!! We were able to talk about serious things, and about God. There are times that I crave talking about God to somebody, but sadly so many Christians don't care about God, even those who are students or faculty of a Bible college.
Church went well last night. Dr. Morgan, who is the founder of the college is here for a few days, so he preached (he also preached chapel this morning). He preached about having victory. It was a really good message.
After church I had a very sad parting. I had to say goodbye to Sherwood, also known as Woody, my cello. :'(( My grandparents are leaving tomorrow for vacation and they are going to Indiana, so I decided to send my cello home with them. I was having a hard time figuring out how I was going to get it home this summer cuz it's really expensive to ship it. This was a good way to get it there.
Since my grandparents will be gone starting tomorrow through next Saturday, I will be house sitting for them. :) It will be sooooo nice cuz I get their apartment all to myself, well I have to share it with their dog, but other than that I will be alone. I'm soooo excited cuz I like being alone, and having peace and quiet, unfortunately that is a VERY rare experience to have in the dorms. It will be so lovely.
I will try to take lots of pictures tomorrow and I'm sure I will have a very long post, whether or not it gets up on Friday or Saturday depends on how late it is when we get back, and how tired I am.

The Longest Week!

I am soooooooooo glad that midterms are FINALLY over! I'm exhausted! I had a total of seven midterms. Two of them were on Thursday, two on Friday, and then one per day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The Lord was a HUGE help, and thank you to all of you who prayed for me, I owe a lot to you!
Thursdays exams were Christian Home and Christian Womanhood. I got 100s on both of those! :)
Friday I had English Composition and New Testament Survey. I got an 85 in English and a 90 in New Testament. I was fine with the English grade, I like to write, but I hate taking tests on how to write. I was a little bit disappointed in the NTS grade, I got a couple of outlines messed up, but oh well, it's still a good grade.
Monday was my hardest midterm, the class was World History, which is my hardest class. I got an 84, and the best grade in the class!! That should give you a hint as to how hard it is.
Intro to Missions was my Tuesday midterm. It was interesting to say the least. I don't have the grade back from that, I will get it tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon I saw Dr. Grimbilas who is the teacher and he asked me if I thought that everything that we had covered everything that was on the exam. So, that must mean that nobody did well. He is generally pretty good about curving grades.
Today's exam was English Grammar. I have no idea how well I did. My brain had completely died by the time of the test. I was exhausted and having a hard time with it in general. I hope I did well, I guess I'll find out later.
After the test today I totally zoned out! I really didn't care about anything after it. I had New Testament Survey and honestly, I'm surprised that I caught all of the notes. I was/am emotionally, mentally, and physically drained. Praise the Lord for Mrs. Phillips and her hugs. They made my days sooooo much better, especially today. :)

On Saturday after visiting our bus route I went with several girls to a little Greek/Italian cafe in Stony Brook. It was really good, and pretty decently priced. It was a nice break.

Other than that I don't remember doing anything else besides studying. I'm sure I did more, but at the moment nothing else is coming to mind.
