I hate to keep begging for prayers like this, but I need them now more than ever. I've got major piles of work to get through before Monday and I'm starting to really panic about my ability to get it all done.

I can buy a reprieve if I ask one of my professors for a favor. Unfortunately, last week I did something really stupid that backed up a bit of his already-heavy workload, and he might be kind of ticked at me. I haven't been able to talk to him since, so I don't know for sure. I feel awful for having done it (it was an accident) but I'm not sure whether I should plead for forgiveness, or hope he didn't think too much of it, since I'm the one who'll suffer the most from it.

If I ask him for the favor and he grants it, it will be a huge boon to me and it will lighten his work load a little bit as well, undoing the damage of the gaffe I made and then some. But I'm worried that he'll say no because he might think that granting it would reward me for being "irresponsible". I would argue with that label, but I know I have earned enough of it that he may be less willing to grant such a favor.

And so I covet the prayers of any of you who may be willing to pray for the poor, ignorant fool Matrona. :cry: I've got to get out of here and get back to work, but I will pray for all of you and especially for those praying for me.

Matrona, you and I both need prayers.

I'll pray for you. Please remember me in your prayers.

My dad is incredible with his aid from heaven. I'll ask him to help you write cohesive and tight essays.

I have an oral research presentation to make and it is awful. Then in one week, I must submit a coherent written research paper with a clearly defined hypothesis (hypotheses), including all the statistical tests which I don't know a clue about. Yes, this involves advanced statistics and I have only had two courses in statistics, and that was two years ago and long forgotten. Yikes.

I remember the ANOVA but I've forgotten t-tests and correlation tests and all that.

Thanks everybody :wave: I got in one of my papers today, and it was a doozy!

I've still got a bunch to do... I think I have at least twenty more pages of paper to write this week, and I haven't had a chance to talk to the professor from whom I need a favor but I think I will have a chance tomorrow. I just pray that I'll catch him in a good mood! :eek:

A PRAYER FOR FINAL EXAMS

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk;

He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying.

He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break.

He restoreth my faith in study guides.

He leads me to better study habits

For my grade's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades,

I will not have a nervous breakdown For Thou art with me.

My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.

Thou givest me answers in moments of blankness;

Thou anointest my head with understanding.

My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.

Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me.

All the days of my examination,

And I shall not have to dwell in this university forever,

Amen!
