Half the people who responded to this USA Today poll said they use prayer to control pain. I often use prayer to control things like "hangovers" and "consequences to my actions." I think if I ever get to heaven God might go, "So, did you ever get that room clean like you promised? What about laying off the vodka? Did that ever happen?"
In other news, I hate the three weeks earlier than usual exam. I'm just not in exam mode yet...I'm still in that place where I'm just totally lazy and disgusting until right before it becomes absolutely urgent to start studying lest I fail out of school. Oh well, who says I can't get a quarter's worth of reading and outlining done in the next three days? Maybe if I pray...
