Just a Little Pick-Me-Up

Today was just one of those days.

This month's rotations has left me with Weis third. At first I was irritated because I had to wait all day for his class, but I'm so glad that turned out the way it did.

At the moment, we are studying Natural Selection, Evolution, and Dating (Rock dating....). So, at the end of the class, Mr. Weis left it open for discussion and questions. I've had some burning questions for a few weeks now and I finally had the opportunity to ask them.

But as one question lead to more questions, the entire discussion was more of a debate between Weis and myself. So I wasn't all too surprised with the fact that even though class was over, we'd still be talking. Now, I was planning on taking the bus home from school today, seeing as I had no other ride. Too bad that didn't happen.

We were still talking when I realized all the busses had left. It wasn't a big deal because I figured I could just call someone and get a ride. So, I decided to stay and keep our conversation going. Again, I am so thrilled that I prolonged my stay. We went from our dispute on Evolution, to how God plays a role. Now, the teachers that are involved with my Endeavor program have made clear to us countless times that they will never reveal their positions or their beliefs to us. Ms. Heins failed that a long time ago, but Weis and Fountain did a really good job at hiding their stances. But, all of my teachers know that I am a believe of Christ, and I'm not going to stray from that.

Apparently, Mr. Weis and I share a similar quality. Mr. Weis shared with me what he believed, how it played part in his life, and his own personal testimony. And he did so beautifully. I appreciated it so much and just soaked up the opportunity God gave me there. Just wonderful. What was even better was how much of an ecouragement Mr. Weis for me and how much of a counselor he was for me today. Man, God continues to amaze me.

Haha, something less awe inspiring, happened during my English class just before Weis'.

A girl made a comment on how Mr. Weis never calls on her. How even when she has her hand up, he will never pick her. Then the rest of the class joined in. "Yea, I always have something to say and he never chooses me!" "It's gets annoying really fast."

But then one kid spoke up "Yea, but he loves Ana. He'll call on her even if her hand isn't up. and when her hand does goes up, he gets excited."

And again, more kids joined. "Yea, he likes Ana's answers." "He likes the way she talks."

Then Ms. Heins gave an excuse "That is because is the Queen of Metaphors and Anecdotes!"

So, when class was over, a kid said "I don't want to go to Science. It's too hard." and Ms. Heins answers "Don't worry, Weis will call on Ana so you wont have to do anything."

And yes, Mr. Weis asked a question and even though 6 other kids had their hands raised, Mr. Weis called on me. The class started laughing and Weis was completely confused.

Good Day Indeed.
