Weekly post

May 12, 2008

Dear friends,

To begin with, no news yet about financial aid from Columbia, but I will let you know as soon as I find out.

It's very hard for me to believe that this will be my last regular post as a WFUDS student. My first post to this blog was in the summer of 2005, preparatory to starting at the div school. How have three years gone by this quickly? (Answer: in the same slow-quick way that time plays tricks with children growing up.) A recap from a February post seems apropos here:

written 93 papers, sweated through 72 quizzes and exams, stacked up 99 required textbooks, provided 193 response papers, and given 17 presentations. I also will have attended 60 chapel services and enjoyed 68 community lunches, consumed 192 soft drinks and 217 cups of coffee, eaten 29 slices of pizza, and made 96 visits to the bookstore. Oh ... and logged 78 hours in Room 202.

And, a week from now, there will be no usual Monday blog posting because we'll all be off a-graduating. Me, excited? No way.

As before, I won't be posting over the summer, but am expecting to get word at some point about financial aid and housing (dorm or apartment -- don't know yet) and the blog will be back this fall, live (-ish) from the absolutely charming Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.

Grace and peace,
Beth
