Nine pages into the ten page Adult Ed paper. If I count the excel spreadsheet of curricula, it gets to ten, but that doesn't feel legit. I know I've got some more footnoting to do. If I had another month to work on it, I'd be able to do it right. It's material I'm really jazzed by, so I wish I could. For now, I'll just have to settle for just getting it done. Bah.
I survived the Hebrew quiz (60 new words). I forgot one word, and got one of the extra-credit parsings half-wrong. I guess I'll stick out the fourth quarter, even though I'm so very tired of memorizing 60 words a week. I think my ego may be getting the better of me, or else I'm just so bonded to my fellow Hebrew warriors in the class that I can't let them go, or I'm hoping the flame will alight on my head and I'll suddenly get it.
Every now and then, we get a transcendent moment in one of my classes. The lecture on ministry to the sick in Liturgics today was one of those moments. That's what happens when you've got a prof whose PhD is in English, but whose theology is equally deep and thoughtful. I've got intellectual chops envy.
Three exams this week: Hebrew, New Testament, Liturgics. I'd be scared if I weren't so dang tired.
Oh.
It's 10:30, almost.
I can go to sleep now.
G'night. (Only a few days til Spring Break. Can't you tell?)
I'm with you...2 finals and I'm out here...I am so tired...
ReplyDeleteTowanda, what year are you? And what part of the country are you going to seminary at? (Apologies for the incredibly ungrammatical sentence - I've used up all my good grammar on the papers).
ReplyDeleteJust remember, in the words of our senior class, done is better than good! Not that it makes you feel like you did your best work, but sometimes you have to let go to forge on ahead on the next project.
