Day 11

So in my last post I wrote a little about my reading dilemma.  I had to read an entire 530 page book by today, and as of yesterday when I blogged I was only on page 50 something.  I thought that I would be able to finish the book easily that night.

I started reading at the library at about 4 pm.  I left the library at about 6:30 after completing 150 pages.  Immediately after eating dinner I started reading again at 8 pm.  Four hours passed and I wasn't even halfway done.  Finally by 2:50 am I finished 326 pages.  I decided that I should probably get some rest, so I went to bed and woke up at 8 the next morning.  Determined to at least try to finish, I sat in the HRCB and read up to page 390, but then I realized that I had to go to biology class.  All through biology class I read the book hoping to get to page 530 and finish the book, but unfortunately I only read up to page 410.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the book and I assumed that I would fail the quiz.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed because I had prayed to Heavenly Father to help me finish the book so that I could do well on the quiz, but I wasn't able to finish the book (and therefore thought I would fail the quiz).  I realized, though, that it was my fault and that I could've started earlier because Heavenly Father only helps those who do their part.

When I got to class, however, and the teacher began passing out the quizzes something interesting happened.  As I read through the questions I realized that all of the questions except one came from the part of the reading that I actually read!  It was truly a miracle.  Even though Heavenly Father didn't give me the ability to read faster, he did help me when it came to the actual quiz.  I can't say how grateful I am that my prayer to do well on the quiz was answered.  I don't know exactly how things worked out, but they did, and I am so appreciative.  Today went well :)

The longest book ever! (not really though haha)
