So, I'm not actually supposed to be writing this. I'm working in journalism class, and trying to edit stories, but I needed to post this.
Two weeks ago, I finished my University of Texas app. I was set to turn it in; being a Longhorn would be awesome, if accepted, seeing as they have one of the best engineering schools in the nation. Being a complete idiot, I didn't start working on my scholarship app, until Nov. 30. So, I held off on turning in my app.
Come Dec. 1, I was set to turn it in. I finished my scholarship essays. I had everything set, and was ready to have the final go over with my parents. I had a quiz bowl meet that night, but I thought I would have enough time to submit the app. I left my house at 4, planning to come back around 9:30 to submit. Plenty of time right? Wrong.
I came back at 10:40. And literally fell asleep after doing my Micro work. So, I wake up at 12:10. And, I'm like, "Crap."
So I didn't hand in the app. And I was really really mad at myself. Here I was, wide awake at midnight with the biggest feeling of regret. How terrible is that? And the sad part was, I had no one to blame buy myself.
Having nothing else to do, I just read my Bible. I came across Daniel 9, which was Daniel's prayer. He talked about how Israel had turned away, and basically have everything in their lives turned upside down. Which basically had happened in my life. Too much homework, and other stuff distracted me from the life I should have been living. But that's my little experience.
Things learned:
1. Don't turn away. It's basically the worst thing that can happen.
2. Don't wait till the last minute. The second worst thing that can happen.
3. God lets us do stupid stuff, because He knows we'll come back to Him.
