I decided not to make excuses for my long absence from the blogosphere, but let me just say that it involves homework (well, I guess I just did anyway)... I just finished taking an assessment exam for Greek. Let's just say, better luck next time... Let me forewarn you, you may not see too much of me over the next two weeks as finals start Thursday of next week. But, hopefully after that I will have some time to relax, and blog, and sleep, and live!

May you have a peaceful, quiet, serene, slow-paced, lollygagging day

Choir Tour 2008 is officially over. We returned Sunday night from our last service. It was hard, especially for the ones graduating or not returning. Everyone went around to each other and said their final goodbyes. Lot's of tears, lot's of hugs, lot's of unity. But, now it's back to the grindstone. I admit, it's probably going to take a small atomic bomb to get me moving again. I just feel like sleeping, and doing nothing for the next 2 months. Ah well, for God and country.

I just took my last exam, and, as far as school work goes, my freshman year of college is over! Thank the Lord for helping me through this year! It feel funny not to have to worry about doing homework tonight for classes tomorrow. I think I can get used to this....

There are only three days of school left! I am now finished with four classes, and have two more to go. I finished my Doctrine of Holiness class today. I actually don't have any exams tomorrow! So my next exam will be Discipleship/Small Groups on Wednesday, followed by Principles of the Christian Life II on Thursday. Then, the push on through Camp Meeting and then... FREEDOM! I can make it, I can make it, I can make it....

It's over! Finals are done, and I survived...barely. I finished my last exam Friday morning, turned in my last reflection paper by noon, and left by 1:00. I am now home and thoroughly enjoying my sleep! Thanks for all your prayers!

It's hard to believe that Christmas time is getting so close! We are really starting to get into the Christmas spirit here at GBS. To start with we decorated the Christmas tree last Wednesday (for a few pictures visit the Photography page). The entire campus is starting to sprout garland and wreaths galore! Not only that, but many of the radio stations are switching over to Christmas music. It really hit me today how much I am looking forward to Christmas, and yes, even snow. I will, however, sorely miss my snow days for school this year I also have some misgivings about that time of year because it will mean exams! But then the relaxation that will follow it knowing that I am finally finished till next semester. Well, I hope you will begin to get into the Christmas spirit as well, and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
