Two More Weeks!

In two weeks, my first semester of seminary will be over. My how time flies!!! I spent a great Thanksgiving week at home, split between Louisville and Seymour. I worked four mornings at Target. I ate at Texas Roadhouse with Rebecca. I had good conversations with Pastor and other church friends. I ate lots of food. I played (and lost) a game of cards. I went shopping for 14 hours, thus staying awake for 24. I celebrated my mom's birthday with Longhorn Steakhouse, casino and food.

And I did approximately 1/2 hour of school work. Oops. I brought an entire bag home with me. Should have saved the energy of toting it around, since that's basically all I did with it.

But I did get everything done that I needed to get done before break. I got my Pentateuch draft done, and my prof and TA made some suggestions, but nothing that is going to make me scrap the entire paper. I got both my pastoral care papers done. I wrote my history paper. I passed my Greek quiz.

I also had my CPE interview. It went very well, but I did not get into that program. There were 8 applicants for 6 positions and they picked the ones that would work best together. In CPE, it's not just that you'll be good for the job, but they also want to make sure the whole group will work well together.

So today I am back in classes. Pentateuch was kind of interesting today. Our class had a joint class session with Systematic Theology. We sat on one side of the table, they sat on the other and we discussed why bad things happen to good people and why good things sometimes happen to us. It was a good class, though it was a challenge to hear our partners accross the table - since there were about 30 people in the room talking at the same time. But one of my partners told me that what I said was really good.

I then went to the blood drive that was on campus. Almost got rejected for a fast heart rate but the second time was ok. I then met with the Field Ed director. She basically told me what I already knew - that I need to re-contact the people who I haven't heard from and if nothing happens, to consider doing CPE during the summer.

But then after Greek, I had a voicemail from one of those contacts, wanting to interview me tomorrow morning. So I'll need to leave Church History early, but I am going to interview at 11. I hope it goes well and that my classes that I still need to take do not cause a problem. She said there is one spot left for the Winter/Spring unit.

I also went to Five Guys with a classmate today. Good food, good times, good conversation. :)
