		<description>Rusty, dare I ask what the subject of your thesis is?

Ronan,
It has to do with increasing high school kids' exposure to multiple perspectives on issues they currently face and will face in the future.

Sounds cool. Good luck.

I hope you can send a copy of that to me. I'd of course like to read it (and maybe use it as a future reference for my own thesis one day on whatever that may be).

Funny but I was thinking of the same things this week as I get ready to finish finals. It's been a pretty rotten semester mostly, although a relatively easy one. However, I chose to do my schedule the way I did, I chose my Minor to be music and thus have to take these painful classes and I chose to live where I do with the people I do (Who, don't get me wrong, I love and enjoy, but can be a trial, too). I'm just grateful as you are for everything I have, I've learned and gained. Plus I'm grateful I'm not in YOUR predicament!&#62;8p

Rusty, would you say that in plain english for the rest of us!
Don &#124; Email &#124; Homepage &#124; 12.11.04 - 2:45 pm &#124; #

What's wrong Don? Seems the rest of us had no problem understanding it!&#62;8P

Bret, you're a punk -- you just like getting away with calling your father "Don." !!

Rusty,

Thanks for reminding us all that we really don't have much to complain about. Well, it sure feels like we do sometimes (uh, that was ME this last week...) but when we stop and take a step back, we can see how many amazing ways God really blesses us.

One more comment for Rusty: don't forget it's my birthday this Wednesday! Ha ha!

This too shall pass. All's well that ends well. Panic plus time equals humor. There is generally a light at the end of the tunnel. Have a merry and relaxing Christmas!

Good luck man! You'll do fine...

Sounds familiar Rusty--hang in there. I just got done with finals, and had to let every other aspect of my life get way out of balance for about a month in order to be prepared for exams. I ranted about it here: http://probative.blogspot.com/20...2/hump- day.html

As Elder Bednar has said, balance is a myth. The trick is to realize that one aspect of our lives will always be in need of more attention, and to effectively shift our focus. Getting your thesis proposal done is a worthy end, and justifies the temporary sacrifices you have made. Just make sure that such a lopsidedness is indeed temporary.

Russ..I forgive you for forgetting my birthday...no prob. Your life is kinda crazy right now. No big deal. We'll catch up another time. No hard feelings...really. I love you and want you to be successful. And even though you may not feel it at times, you've made the right choice and I'm proud of you.
