Na 2007

Hey everybody,
Holly posted a few days ago about the New Attitude Conference sermons that you can download for free. I would highly recommend doing so. I finished the last of the 7 sermons yesterday. They are SO amazing! I took tons of pages of notes, and I know I will refer to them often. We all can grow in the area of discernment.

Well, I finished my first final this morning. Only ONE MORE then i'm done with highschool for good! It's so weird to be thrust into a completely new peer group. Sometimes weird peer group, sometimes veiwed as rebellious, sometimes seen as the bright young generation that will change this country. For better or worse, i'm not really sure which. If most college age students are like those here at this college, we should be afraid. Very afraid. This generation is turning out weak-spined, politically correct, liberal, tolerant adults. Besides the fact that 95% of them smoke and drink, never you mind how old they are. Underage drinking doesn't matter once you are in college. You're an adult once you start calling your teachers "Professors" and you are automatically mature once you can walk out of class and never return any time you wish. Nobody cares about homework, and only once during the term does every single student enrolled for the class actually show up. And that's final's week. Ipods and cellphones get more attention then the lecture does. "Do as little as possible. Just enough to get by" is probably the motto of this generation. Forget learning. Forget applying yourself. The reason you are in this class is to squeeze out a C if possible. Since when did a "C" become a passing grade? In highschool, tears and frustration followed receiving such a low score, but now it's become the goal for most students. Forget the "A". And the "B". What's the lowest score I can get and still pass? A "C". So students spend more time figuring out how little they can do, then on homework. Ok, you can skip 5 classes, not turn in 6 homework assignments, and bomb at least 2 quizzes, and you've got a pass. Yay. Welcome to college.
