At the Grindstone
Goodness ... this winter term has been short. And busy. Very busy, indeed.
To start off, no, Amanda, nobody deleted any of my content from the previous entry. I personally removed it. As for my reasons ... I'd rather not discuss them right now. Let's just say that I'm afraid at what I'll say concerning it.
Granted, it's not over yet. There are still two full weeks left, plus the exams. But it feels like an eternity already since it began. I've been subjected to a temperamental professor, regressed to a Social Studies course in place of Education 20, participated in an Elementary After School Program, attended 25 hours of Theatre rehearsals as an observer, worked a few nights at Chick-Fil-A, and undertook a big project on children and television.
Talk about a heavy load on your plate. But I'm hopeful that things are finally starting to come together. My theatre analysis is finished at least, so I'm ready to present that next week. I've gotten a decent start on my Powerpoint presentation for my Education media project on children and television, and I've lined up my first interview at Taylors on Monday. I've still got a long way to go on that one. Education 20 is off to a great start with an A on my midterm. The project and the final exam are the only other real grades we'll get, so at least one third of my grade is done. Theatre 11 suffered a setback with my second test coming back as an indefensibly mediocre score. But I have a plan in the works to take care of that. Hopefully my professor will accept it.
BCM has been great as always this term. We're about to finish up a five-week series focusing on the three stages of love: eros, phileo, and agape. We've had some interesting small group discussions on topics like relationships, dating, sex, and the like. I'm really glad to be able to talk about such things maturely and in the Biblical context with a wonderful group of friends. Praise Band has been consistently fun, and we've had some great new songs, but Drama has suffered the past few months. We've hardly had anyone show up at the meetings, and I know it's wearing on my friend Andrew's patience. He's doing his best to lead it, but if no one shows up, what can he do?
I'll have more detailed information later, I hope!
Song of the Day: Alathea - "Save Me"
Verse of the Day: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." - Isaiah 43:1-3
