Rockbridge, winter conference, and other things

I'm sitting here swamped to the marsh studying for tomorrow's test (Communication Research). Such a stark, and I repeat STARK, contrast to the awesomeness of this weekend. Full of several kinds of blizzards, hot tubs, good food, good chats with amazing girl pals, the life of Daniel, and an incredible new encounter with my God, this weekend was high on the charts. I'm so thankful for the blessing of being a part of it, and just having the opportunity to go. It's hard coming back to school though, because it's a scenario similar to this:

God: "hey heather, look through that window, see that's heaven out there"
me: "oh awesome, it's so spectacular and happy looking"
God: "I know, it's the best place ever, mostly because then I'll be with you physically"
me: "dude, i wanna go there right now, a.s.a.p. PLEASE"
heather doused with cold water
God:"sorry, you have to stay on the earth longer, you have work to do"
me: "ok....if you say so. But God, I really want to be with you now!!"

So yeah, studying for exams into the wee hours of the morning isn't my favorite way to spend time. How can I do this for the honor and glory of God? It's not enjoyable in any way, shape, or form. Maybe I'll make up stories to go along with the theories...lame -o.

It's monday, 12:30 a.m. and right now I can't see past a little into tuesday. I'm behind in absolutely everything. Rockbridge, you were awesome, but now it's time to plow through the muck again. If only there was another way...
