Time Flies When You're Having Fun!
This semester has been absolutely flying by. Not only has every week sped by, due to a relatively heavy course load (last week it still felt like Tuesday on Thursday), but the weekends too have been absolutely chock full of stuff to do (sports, hanging out, events, talks, homework, ministry). It's now my third semester in the seminary, and each one gets better and better. Sure, there were some ups and downs, but seriously, overall it has been absolutely phenomenal so far. That is why I am so surprised at the fact that it is almost over. I only have one full week of classes left (this week is cut short by NCYC, next week by thanksgiving, and the week after that is the week before finals)! It's absolutely crazy! I can clearly remember moving in at the beginning of the semester, and meeting all the new guys, and the first week of classes, and the first wave of tests, and the first discernment dinner, and the many, many community dinners, and the talks on campus, and the midterms, and the soccer tournament, and wow, there has just been so much happening... It has been wonderful, overwhelming, full of growth, and (almost) constant joy! Some of the guys are starting to want the semester to end; I feel like it has just begun. There is so much more to learn, so many more prayers to be said, so much more growth to be had, so much more fun to do. Gosh, I guess it's not a bad problem to have. God is so good!
Well, that's all for now - sorry, I really want to write something fantastic, deep, and funny, but I'm currently deep into my Augustine/Aquinas and Senior Seminar papers (neither of which will finish themselves), and I should probably focus on getting those done first. Love God, Have fun, and Be Not Afraid!
Please let me know in the comments if this post is almost unreadable because the words are chopped off at the end of each line. I keep seeing it on my end, and want to make sure that it is just a problem with my computer... Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWhile some words were chopped off, after the second “chop, “ the brain compensates and it takes little effort to get the hang of it. More importantly is the sharing of your personal experiences and thoughts (truly a God-given gift you have). I hope you never get too busy to post. For me, (and, I am sure, many others) this is a beautifully, unique opportunity to follow your fascinating life adventure. And, by the way, you are naturally fantastic, deep and funny - downright, dynamic.
