The end of blogging….?
So I haven’t blogged much. Not because there isn’t anything going on in my life right now…it just seems to be so much of an inconvenience to actually sit down and formulate a post….but since i’m “working” in the library tonight i figure i would give it a go.
Week three of seminary…can that be right? We’re already entrenched in papers and tests and whatnot that it seems like November and not the end of September. This year seems to be so much busier than last year. I’m taking four classes, not five. So that would lead me to think that it woudl be an easier year. Hence why I signed up to work in the library. Then i went and signed up for three committees and am actually involved in all of them. So there are a lot of extra things going on at the sem. its hard to be involved with social things, and every few days i just get so tired that i have to crash for a bit. I think as seminarians we forget that we need to recharge and keep adding more and more things to our plates. Gluttons for punishment are we!
I’m trying to pinpoint why this year at seminary is so different than last year. Largely, its the same number of people. There are a few people that have stayed from last year’s middler class, and of course new freshies and seniors…but its more than that. It has more to do with my class..what is it about these people that have changed so much over the summer? maybe its just a settling in that has happened, or a maturing has taken place. I have no clue, really.
Maybe its just me? As CTEL pointed out, my outlook and my ways of reacting to things has definately changed. I had a really positive developmental intrview with them this past weekend. I had two different people doing the interview, and i felt a lot more comfortable with them, so that may have been the reason. But i also had an amazing interview with my bishop. So i think there has been a change within me, and now all i have to do is figure out how that came about, and in what way.
This is a ridiculous entry, isn’t it?
In 18 days I will be on fall break. And celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday with a huge surprise party for her! i can hardly wait. hopefully my entire family will be able to come together for that event, something that doesn’t happen all that often these days. I can hardly wait
