A NICE LITTLE CHEMISTRY STORY!
Introductory Chemistry at Duke University has been taught for about a
zillion years by Professor Bonk (really), and his course is
semi-affectionately known as "Bonkistry." He has been around forever,
so no one would put it past him to come up with something like this.
Anyway, one year there were these two guys who were taking Chemistry and
who did pretty well on all the quizzes and the midterms and labs, etc.,
such that going into the final they had a solid A. These two friends
were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals
week (even though the Chem final was on Monday), they decided to go up
to UVirginia and party with some friends up there. So they did this and
had a great time. However, with their hangovers and everything, they
overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early
Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to
find Professor Bonk after the final and explain to him why they missed
the final.
They told him that they went to UVa for the weekend, and had planned to
come back in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the way
back and didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time and
so were late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and then
agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two
guys were elated and relieved.
So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that
Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of
them a test booklet and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, which was something simple about
molarity and solutions and was worth 5 points. "Cool" they thought,
"this is going to be easy." They did that problem and then turned the
page.
They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It
said
"...building up yourselves on your most holy faith... (Jude 20)."
TODAY!
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because I've been provided shelter for my mind and body.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
Have a GREAT DAY . . . unless you have other plans."
