the day after whenever

So i'm awake at 4am watching The Day After Tomorrow because i can't sleep. and let's face it, that won't really change after the movie's over bcus it's a crazy movie.

but neway,

the girl, Laura, is talking with jake gyllenhal's character, and they talk about "adjusting" to the things that are happening to them. you know, the entire climate shifting and practically the world ending..and she says this haunting line: "how am i supposed to adjust, sam? everything i've ever cared about, everything i've worked for, was for a preparation for a future that no longer exists. it was all for nothing."

we're supposed to make the best of whatever God's given to us, because that's what He tells us to. even with the parable of the talents, He scolds the man who buries it all in the ground to "preserve" it. but what good does that do? he was unlike the other guys, who invested it or used it for something.

everyone has their priorities. reaching the top in school, working hard towards pharmacy school, whatever. and yeah, you shouldn't waste your time as a student- you should work as hard and best as you can to become the best you could be, because otherwise you'd sorta be spitting in God's face. but when is it too much?

I'm just afraid that so many people right now are focusing too hard on a future that is temporary. i think this is why i'm not the best student, i'm hardly an average student, and i barely make the grades because i spend my time in church. my sacrificing of time of school for God is i guess my preparation for a more permanent future.


k, now that i've scared myself even more..i'm gonna finish the movie.
