The Results are in! (Mostly)

EDIT: Business law test grade is in. added link to article that I ranted about.
I am currently clear of my first batch of tests and have received my grades for all but one. 

Here are the results;

Microeconomics: C

Old Testament: A

Information Systems for Business: B

Principals of Accounting I: A (a perfect 100 that won a bet with a classmate which got me a snickers bar)

Business Law: A

The jury for Business Law is still out at the moment. I should find out by Monday what I got. When that happens, I'll update this post with the score.

In other news, our school news paper published a rather poorly constructed article about U2. And when I say that, I mean the guy who wrote the article committed an Argument FAIL. Now, I get where the writer is coming from, but his argument is rather convoluted and the main point is rather obscure.

He starts off with his background in relation to music, preferring the hymns but still liking rock bands. Then he explains his initial reactions to the band U2. At this point I'm unsure what his main idea is. Next he comments that he is unsure about what he thinks about U2 songs being played in SGA Chapel; again, not sure where he's going. He then goes into some history of U2, explaining various aspects of songs and such. And we've just completed 2/3 of the article.

Finally it looks like he's going somewhere by dropping Bono's humanitarian acts in a brief paragraph. He mentions that one pastor wishes the church had a million Bonos. At that point I'm thinking, "Hmm, more Christians giving to those in need? Hell yes! We barely tithe!" But wait, the writer says that's the problem? What? The writer was referring to looking cool and acting intelligent? Did I miss something?

According to him, being rich and having possession is a bad thing if it is more than the amount you give. He also quotes Kevin DeYoung; "Until we are content with being one of the nameless, faceless church members and not the next globe-trotting rock star, we aren't ready to be part of the church". I think this quote might've been taken out of context. The writer seems to use it to support the idea that being rich and famous is bad (which it is if you give God the backseat because of it, but otherwise it isn't). however, I think the original quote was supposed to mean that unless we are content with the fact we may never get fame and fortune and are willing to rely on God, we are like the rich man in the Bible that asked how to get eternal life. But that's my guess.

Then he goes on to say it might not be a good idea to play secular music before a time of worship.  My thoughts are, "even if that secular music was written to glorify God?". In conclusion he says: "something is wrong if we'll be disappointed on the earth because Jesus isn't really like Bono at all". Where did that come from from?

Overall, I don't understand what he was trying to get at. Also, his arguments tend to not hold weight in they way they are presented. I'll post a link to the article once it's posted online so that everyone can make their own judgments.

Now to promote some music from probably one of the most talented people alive.

Not a whole lot, but all of it is wonderful. Spread the word.


Also, Friday was my first night managing the Savage Worlds game. The other guy succumbed to laziness and didn't prepare anything to help me along. But for entirely off the cuff, I think I did pretty well. Let me know if you would like to hear how the actually story of the game progresses.
