Vending Machine Jesus

I woke up pretty reluctantly today, but I had to write my lab report that is due tomorrow, so I did get up. I started analysing data and downloading the papers online. I then had a question about if I was doing the equation in excel right because the number seemed low, so I posted on LMS. Then I went to MCU common time. It started off with one student talking about the bible and pop songs and then Steve talked about Luke 14. He said that some of the people that followed Jesus were people wondering what he'd do next and some just wanted things out of him. He referred to this as the vending machine Jesus, hence my title.

I got back at 1:30 and texted Corin and Carrie about when they wanted to go to the store. We decided to go at 2, so I worked on my report and the calculations some more in the meantime. I also emailed Steve, because there is a Christian conference and mission trip in Canberra and Sydney at the end of the semester and I wanted more information. It sounds like a great experience, but my parents and I would have to work out the details before I know if I can go or not. He still hasn't emailed me back, though.

We then went to the store at 2 and I got a lot of stuff because I was totally out of apple juice and shapes. Also, next week is our study break, which means that I have my field study. I have to take my lunch to the days that I'll be in the field since we don't have a lunch break and so I had to get more food for that. I also got Splits, which are a cheaper version of the Splice popsicle things that I got everywhere on the Northwest trip.

I came back from the store and took a little nap/rest to get my mind together before working some more on my report. I've basically been writing it all day/night and am still not even close to finishing it! There was a ton of calculations and I couldn't figure out how to make the graph I wanted in excel. I'm just going to present the data as a table instead. I think it'll be a long night and I'll probably be working on this report for most of tomorrow, too, since it isn't due until 5. I do have to go to class, though, and find out where I'm supposed to turn this in. I also got an email today from a student in an FYS (first year seminar) class that I said I'd share my experiences with because it's a class on studying abroad. I'm excited to help and hopefully I'll be able to write back to her tomorrow. She actually said that she has a sister that is studying at Curtin Uni, which is in Perth! I guess it really is small world. :P

Now, back to writing my report :(
