Yowzers The Irony

I mentioned before that this week was sheer brutality for me for a plethora of reasons. I have an uncanny amount of reading and assignments to complete, just like probably every other college student does. So I was in the library last night listing out everything I had to do in the upcoming week;

Constellation Quiz
Mission Prep Paper
Book of Mormon Study Guide
Book of Mormon Mid Term; 1 Nephi 1-22
Hobbes Reading Pg. 585-605, 606-612, 621-625
Astronomy Review #2
Perspectives on the Environment 61-63
Choose Article for Rhetorical Analysis
Locke's 2nd Treatise on Government 685-591
Hobbes Quiz
Writing and Rhetoric 85-103
Completed Audience Profile
Soccer Game Wednesday Night
Mission Prep Daily Journal
Start Political Science Paper
Astronomy Reading (like 200 pages to skim(

I was in my planner charting when I would do all of the aforementioned homework throughout my week so I could space it out in manageable chunks. But no matter what I did it seemed like I was in the library all day every day for the next week! Then I look down to the bottom of my planner and find this quote, in small lettering (and what seemed like it was purposefully placed there for me to see, and then to smile);

"After suitable rest and relaxation there is not a day, hour, or minute that we should not spend in idleness, but every minute of every day of our lives we should strive to improve our minds and increase [our] faith [in] the holy Gospel." - Brigham Young

So, as it would turn out, this is good for me. The irony that I am spending every day doing homework for like 9 hours a day is only going to benefit me to do well in the classes that I want to do well in. I will be anxiously engaged in a good cause, which is learning and obtaining knowledge, which is the only thing we can take with us to the celestial kingdom. So, I am doing the thing that will benefit me the most in the long run...the really long run :)
