Dr. Bart's Office

This week I don't really have any major theme to dwell on. Things have been totally crazy (as I'm sure they've been for everyone) for this time of year. All I can really say is to hang on. Hang on for the last stretch of the year. Resist the urge to coast through the end of the school year. Yes, I'm burnt out. Yes, I am sick of studying. Yes, I cannot wait for summer. But!, don't let all your hard work that you've put in go to waste at the end. If you finish strong, you'll be happy you did when it's all over.

A quick update on crew....We just won Midwest Rowing Championships yesterday. Hopefully we'll get an NCAA bid to the championships in Sacramento in a month! Have a great week everyone. Later.

Hey all. I apologize for neglecting my blogging duties. I have just been incredibly bogged down. A lot has happened in the past month. Good and bad.

I have been really down lately. School, crew, friends.....you name it, it hasn't gone right. School has just seems like its becoming this overwhelming task that I cannot conquer. I didn't make the boat to come out to San Diego this weekend. In everything, I just feel like I can't catch a break.

I'm still not out of the slump, but I am on my way. I've been spending a lot of time praying, lately. I have to fight the urge to keep on asking and asking and asking God to get me out of this. I realize that I need to keep my eyes out for the good things that He gives to me. And I need to remember to thank him for it all- the good and the bad. I know that I'm being tested. How much can I actually get through? When will it all balance out?

I already know the answer to these questions. I will get whatever God gives me and run with it. I'll keep chugging along in school til I'm through. I won't quit until I've made first boat or die trying. I'll keep thanking Him for whatever comes my way.

It's time to take the big test. Will I pass or will I fail? I know that I'll pass if I rely on Him to show me the way.
