The life of a student can be quite simple in the grand scheme of things; take classes, study, pass them, take more classes, study, and graduate. I assume most people would agree with me about this "job title" of the student. Of course this definition regards the responsibilities of the the student and not what actually the person experiences; e.g. binge drinking is not one of the requirements of being a student.
The reason of which I have taken the effort in stating the life of a student is to establish a foundation of which to view my current week here at NC State. Every so often, a student is lucky enough to have exams and homework assignments piled into the same week. I am this "lucky" student. This week I have two physics exams (one in quantum mechanics, and the other in electrodynamics), a six problem assignment for electrodynamics (one problem equals an hour or more), an exam in numerical analysis, and a reading assignment for my religion class: Christianity vs. Evolution.
As much as I would like to complain about my week, I should not and will refrain from doing so as long as possible. Although the student life is much more complex and far more stressful than the previous definition, it is a great time to have; not because of the lack of discipline accepted in class or the continued prolonging of the "real world", but because God has a plan for all of us. Whether this plan is to take quantum physics or PE, He is in control and will be able to reveal Himself to us in every class, day, or break we have in college.
In hopes of passing along encouragement, I will go along with what class shall bring my way and give all I have as I rely on God for the knowledge that the assignments and exams require. If I do graduate on time with a BS in Physics, there will be and probably already are individuals that know that that accomplishment came through with some divine interaction woven into it. :-)
