Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER? It's not like you're going to be infected with that Christian prayer because you ate it?
If other religions believe that food has to be processed a certain way before they can eat it, let them believe that... and for freak's sake, let someone process the food that way so that they have food that they can eat. It doesn't affect you unless you believe what they believe. It's just food.
We pray over our food before we eat. We do it whether we are dining with fellow Christians or not. I really don't see the issue. I wouldn't put up a stink if I was dining with someone from another religion and they did the same.
Isn't that BASICALLY the same thing?
IDK. I think I'm far too annoyed over something this stupid.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER, PEOPLE! It's not that difficult.
