I found this article a while back on Christianity Today, which I have now taken to reading quite regularly, and thought it was pretty interesting. I mean, I’ve verbalized these very similar sentiments many times, I’ve argued about what it means to “submit” to your husband with people, and this sums up my thoughts pretty well on the subject of that passage in Ephesians. Some of it sounds like the “Love Languages” thing that Janine always talks about, but a little more general than that. I like when I read stuff that I already thought of. The other day Jeff said a lot of good theology is stuff that seems obvious when you read it. I like when I read interesting articles or books that say stuff that I’ve not only thought of, but wrote down, or spoken to people about in the past. It reminds me that I’m not as stupid as I feel at this school.
On another front, studying today went OK, but not great. I got some good stuff in. I need to work on one of my formula sheets, and that class should be easy going. The other class looks like I have forgotten a lot of the stuff from the first and second test. But I beat the average in the class on the second test, and the first and third tests were within a standard deviation of the mean, so I’m doing OK in terms of test grades. I just need a solid average grade on the final and I’m set in that class.
Also, I read some pretty solid statistic / probability stuff in a book for one class. The book seems to be an intro book for decision making, maybe for business students, but it definitely doesn’t have a convoluted engineering textbook feel to it (subsequently it feels to airy and lacking solid substance for me because I know a lot of what they are saying already). So I remembered that Jeff said something about wanting to learn a little bit about statistical methods or something like that, only not hard-core engineering book style. So I was thinking if anyone (not just Jeff) is interested in reading a little about some statistical methods for decision making, or some lighter probability stuff let me know and I’ll hang on to this book at the end of the semester and you can borrow it. I’ll just sell it back later in the summer.
Thursday lunch is still on, Legends as usual, but we are going to move the time up a bit, so that we will be there around 12:30. Rob wanted noon, but I think 12:30 is the way to go. That way if anyone shows up at 1 because they didn’t hear about us moving it, we should still be there, and they won’t feel abandon.
That’s about it for today. Later people.
