We are almost there!!!

Hoo Whee!! I can't believe this year is just about over. It is incredible. I feel like the year has just begun in so many ways. I feel like I am just getting into the groove of seminary life. It has been an interesting year and a life giving one too.
Right now I am trying to finish up a theological brief for Theology 1 and then it is on to a paper for Narrative Hermeneutics and finally a paper on the Sacrament of the Altar (my favorite subject). With the end of the year so close it is hard to focus on what I need to do - thoughts of going home permeate my brain quite often!
Only 6 more days and I will be back to my home and my man...oh yeah and the furkids too. I can't wait!!! Anyway must go and write.

Are we there yet?

Well, i realized that I haven't been keeping up with this blog and my humblest apologies goes out to anyone who checks this on a regular basis - that would be you Larry.
I am dumbfounded that the end of school is fast approaching. I can't believe it!! I am procrastinating working on a theology paper becasue I keep finding much more interesting things to do. I can not wait for term to be over.

It's an interesting time right now at the sem. Emotions are really high as people are realizing that life is changing for them. The fourth year's are preparing for graduation and calls to parishes, the second year's are getting ready to go on internship, and we first year's are readying ourselves for CPE placements or finding jobs or taking the summer language classes. In our Friday morning Narrative Hermeneutics class the presenters were all emotional as they (myself included) were coming to terms with the impending changes. My biggest change for next year is I am moving in with my mother. She gave me an offer I couldn't refuse and besides, I like my mother - we get along well and understand each other. Now, telling my friends that I had change plans on them was a different matter. They were understanding saying I had to do what I had to do but really I felt bad that I had let them down because we had been planning to move in together for a whole year now. I hope that somehow they will forgive me. So this is my public confession.

Anyhow, I am looking forward to returning home and resting in May. If I don't post until I get home please don't think I am lazy or stupid - I have 5 more big assignments left to do in two weeks - so go easy on me eh?
