(Note: The first two are from the CSF Retreat this weekend. The other two are unrelated items to the retreat.)

I. I can be a leader in the church through my music or through wherever the leadership team needs help.

I discerned this weekend that the time for me to become a leader is now. Exactly where God wants me in the scheme of the Catholic Student Center is uncertain to me at this time, but there are options open for me. I feel called to lead in the Music Ministry in CSF somehow, as well as anywhere else that my leadership skills are needed. The verse that led to me this in the Bible: John 9:4.

II. I should wait to pursue any sort of relationship until the fall.

I also discerned this weekend that I really do like her, through the beauty that I saw emulating from her during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. When you can find a girl that you know has the Holy Spirit in her, you’ve got an excellent catch in the net. The verse that I found that leads me to wait: Song of Songs 3:5.

III. The MythBusters are more interested in the process of creating than the actual myth.

I saw them talk last night at the O’Connell Center, and they were fantastic. That was their main point: that the guys are not in the work to bust myths, but, rather, to find a way to solve the problem at hand. They also highly recommend that anyone who likes their show should be an engineer, and employ the same problem-solving skills to other problems. Oh, and also to not try the things that they do at home.

IV. I might be able to pull off an ‘A’ in Linear Algebra.

Thank the Lord! As it stands right now, I have a ‘B+’ in the class (if I’ve done my math correctly). If I’m able to do well on these next two quizzes in the last week of class, I would likely need somewhere around a 95 on the final (out of 105 possible) to obtain an ‘A,’ and around a 75 for a ‘B+.’ Oh, it would be nice to have a 4.0 GPA after my first year here at UF, especially with the course demand that I’ve put myself through this early into my college career.
