Satisfaction Doesn't Come Easy

I just completed a major assignment in my Bible Study class at Southwestern Assembly of God University. I was dreading this assignment because it entails so many tiny details that are time consuming. Also, I was dreading it because my professor is a stickler. Well, I am done with it! Hallelujah! It was called an Interpretative Analysis of 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5. It ended up being eight (8) pages long! You know what, though? I was dreading it SO much, but now (that it's over) I kinda liked doing it. I have no idea what my grade will be (and that scares me), but I enjoyed the learning process of the whole thing. If I wasn't going to be graded on it, I probably would have enjoyed it even more (but I probably wouldn't have done it, either). Well, now that it's over, I feel satisfied, like I accomplished something. I didn't benefit anyone else; I didn't help another soul; but I feel like I started something that was excruciatingly difficult and I finished it with all my hair on my head and a bit more knowledge inside. Satisfaction doesn't come easy, but it feels really good!
