While classes have ended, my studies have not.  I got an extension in my history class–precious mercy from a gracious professor.  He gave me until the end of May to finish up my assignments and last exam.  I also need to write a paper for another class and knock out a few book reviews.

This semester has been so very difficult for me.  These last two years have been hard, but nothing like the last 4 months.

Besides my homework, I’ve neglected a lot of my relationships.  I’ve forgotten to call and not replied to emails.  I’m sorry.  It’s not because I don’t care.

Sometimes I don’t talk to friends or family because I’m busy or tired.  At times, I don’t want to admit my weakness or betray the confidence of others.  Sometimes I stay distant because I’m hurting and don’t think they’ll understand.  I don’t give some people the chance to prove themselves understanding and caring.  Others have been given the opportunity and failed.

Whatever the reason, I’ve neglected some relationships for a couple years now.  I pray people will be as merciful and gracious as my professors.  I could use an extension.
