That's right, and anyone passing by could join them in the hell of being cut to pieces (Jeff I botched this cause I'm not really sure what he says). Chinese have a lot of hell.

Anywho, I'm coming home this weekend. Mom sorry I sounded short earlier. I got no sleep last night, in fact I got about 1:30-2:00. What happened was, I found out I had this assignment do that I didn't know I had do. On the webpage the assignment is there but NOWHERE does it says the DUE DATE on the webpage. I mean no where! So I missed like one class and therefore didn't know till last minute (luckly I know people er something). So I worked on that till like 3:30am and then (probably irrationally) thought that I had to get up at 7:00am anyway and at that point I would probably feel better just staying up. Well my plan was going good till bout like 6:00 when I just died and gave up and slept bout 1:30. I feel awake now, I had only a slight nap today.

For that assignment I had to write a program in ML which is a functional programming language. This means nothing to any of you, but you may be able to relate to me on this note. ML relies heavily on recursion. You did recursion in math and its a really strange, uncomfortable way of thinking. Recursion is when a function calls itself. Like: F(x)=2+F(x-1) and stuff. But thats like not major. Here's one of the harder functions I had to program last night:

fun powerset s =
if (null s) then [[]]
else if ((length s)=1) then [[],s]
else
let fun powersetAUX (frnt,rst) =
(map (fn ob => [frnt]@ob) (powerset(rst)))
in
powersetAUX((hd s),(tl s))@powerset(tl s)
end;

try and guess how that works....yeah yeah yeah. It returns the powerset of a list. Powerset of [1,2]=[(),(1),(2),(1,2)] It's basically all combinations. Okay so anyway enough with my math lesson and griping. Cause Spring Break "is only a day away". I will see you all TOMORROW!!

I love you all,
PS I'm down w/ the reschke invite...but maybe we should give this a bit more time, before we do that...dunno I like the idea of being able to discuss things just our family. But I could dig. the rest of the fam too. We SHALL discuss it :). And as usual mom you were very insightful on the alex's sis's fiance thing. I agree.

in Christ,

You're right Jase. This is such a great idea. I wish that more people would write. Should we open it up to the Reschke's?
About Alex. I am glad you have the dialogue thing going. That is a good thing. About her sister's fiance - unbelievable. I feel so badly for her and his family. It will take a long time to get over. My cousin, who is my age lost her fiance in a car accident when she was in her 20's. She did not want to marry at all after that. She actually found her husband now when she was around 35. Had her 1 and only child at 40. Life does go on.
You remember the monument to one of Barb's cousins at the cottage. He died in a plane crash leaving a wife and 2 kids. His wife has found someone else to share her lf with after 3 years. I have heard it told that it is harder when you are not married yet and do not have children. The reason - you never had that chance to build a life together or have a family together. I can see this point. I pray that Alex's sister will find comfort in the time they did have together. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Mom

So this blog site has already kinda died. It must be added to and updated...GO FAM GO FAM I know you can do it!

I actually have a sad post. I've been talking to alex lately (that's not the sad part). And I just found out today her sister's fiance DIED! I don't know the specifics, because at this point in our relationship I didn't feel I'm prevy to them. So I just spent a few moments talking to her and said that I was an open ear if she wanted to use it and that I wouldn't bother her the rest of the night. She thanked me.

But I just got to thinking how much that would suck. You finally find that person, you think you got the Love thing fig. out with that person and bam. Alex said "God's got a master plan" and I agree with her, but I also sympathized by saying "it's not always easy, and it can be very painful and confusing."


in Christ,
