What? English? in Philadelphia?

I just sent off the first wave of UW-Eau Claire students for Chapter Focus Week. In seven hours, the graduation ceremony begins. In eleven, I will be done with the R.A. job.

I pulled my first all-nighter in college, and ironically, it was on my last night as a college student. I guess I had to sneak one in somewhere, right?

I had a really good walk last night. I think it was the moment where it began to set in that I really am graduating today. It became so much more real than it had been to this point. But looking back, there’s nothing I would change.

 I bought my tickets for the East Coast tour today. Time to start contacting friends to make sure its a go.

So, today I turned in the final draft of my Capstone to my advisor. Which means I’ve turned in one of my final papers at UWEC, and additionally that Graduation is now 15 days away. This also means that, for better or for worse, the end is almost here.

 It’s been weird to think about what’s going to happen in a little under two months. I’m going to move half-way across the country to teach a subject I haven’t studied in a city I’ve never been in to a culture I’m not a part of.

But, at the same time I know that God is good, and that he does not load us beyond what we can bear. And I know that since that is true, this won’t be too far outside of my comfort zone.

 In seperate news, I ordered two new books today: The New Monastics and 12 Schools of Conversion. I’ve already begun to work on my reading list for between the end of school and the beginning of institute.

Go team.
