And I said, I'll get in because it says the expectation of the righteous, and I'm pretty righteous, so I said I should get in. And I did. Wow. So that's how I wound up there, but... Like I said, I was kind of overwhelmed with all the stuff going on there.

But I don't know that she fully understood the significance of that. But she was happy about it. But by the end of the first semester, I was in trouble. Because I was treating Yale like I treated Southwestern High School.

At Southwestern High School, I didn't have to study. Or I could study in study hall and get an A on the test to next. I mean, it was just too easy. And I figured I could do that at Yale also. It wasn't working. And I was failing freshman chemistry. And you can't fail chemistry and get into medical school.

So I remember the night before the final exam, I just said, Lord, you know, all these years I thought I was going to be a doctor. And I thought you wanted me to be one, but if I fail chemistry, I'm not going to be a doctor. So would you actually show me what it is that you really want me to do? Or, alternatively and preferably, work a miracle?

Now, the chemistry professor had said, either because he was a very good guy or because he was very sadistic, He said, anybody who's failing the course, I will give you double credit on your final exam. So you could not only pass, you could actually get a good grade. And give you sort of that last hope before you get down. I think it was sadistic. But I was going to study all night. I took that.

thick stinko and pain chemistry book. I was going to go through the whole thing that night. Obviously that didn't work. I fell asleep and I dreamed I was in this auditorium. I was the only one there.
