Weeky post

March 24, 2008

Dear friends,

My senior project/thesis is at Kinko's, and I am trying to keep my mind off it for a couple of days. It is the culmination of a year's worth of work -- I began this project last May -- that is itself the culmination of three years at WFUDS.

Um, woohoo.

The 32-page introduction is in place, five pages of citations, 36 color illustrations, and the all-important actual devotional pages. Draft copy to be handed in Friday with a minimum of fanfare. To be honest, I'm feeling really good about meeting the deadlines.

What's much more important, though, is that as I look over the finished product, I'm feeling really good about the quality of the work. I'm pleased with it. I think, if I may say so, that it's good writing and that it has the potential down the road to make a difference.

I'm enjoying meeting the other people (and animals) who seem to live in the house. I'm thoroughly enjoying being able to pick up a book and read it with no motive other than enjoyment.

Of classwork, little remains. The liturgical theology class meets three more times, which means three more papers and a final paper, but there's truly nothing else on my plate, so ... WOOHOO.

Grace and peace,
Beth
