Three In Three

I'm not sure why I decided to upgrade my blog thing to this new layout; but because I did, I'm really confused to where everything is and how it all works now. I guess I get to have some fun trying to figure out how things work again.

I am so glad that in three days, I will be done another year of schooling. I honestly don't know how many years of school I have left in me. So doing one more year, then doing an 8 month internship might be good for me. Basically, in two years I'll be done the minimum I need to have done in order to go into full time ministry. That is two years more than the original plan that I had way back when I said that I absolutely have to do four years of university right after high school and then come out to work full time. I guess what got in the way was the "God" factor, suddenly straightening my paths. Haha.

Anyways, three tests in three days - I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. I am kind of jealous that a couple of my friends wrote two finals on the first day of finals and now they have a few days to chill before they write their last one. Now that you ask me, I think I would like to have done that instead of the take-a-few-days-off-then-write-all-finals-concecutively thing that I got.

For whatever reason, even though I have three finals, I really don't feel like there should be three. My first final is tomorrow: foundations of church ministry. I think this one is good to have a final, albeit not entirely necessary, so that we can test if we know our basic church stuff.

Then there is Greek that is the middle child. It is unfortunate because I wish Greek was either first or last so I could focus entirely on it. I didn't do so well on my 2nd Greek test this term, so it pulled my mark down a little bit. So with it being in between the Tuesday and Thursday finals, trying to study for it is a little strange.

And on Thursday morning, I write my hermeneutics final. This is the final that I'm a little confused about. Hermeneutics is all about exegesis of a passage, so I'm not sure how you can really have a final about that. I can understand if we had a major assignment to exegete a large passage or whatever, but what are we really going to be tested on? Techniques? I don't know, not sure.

Also, my practicum has officially come to a close now. Although it was pretty bumpy at times, I am so glad that it ended really well. The last month and a bit have been fantastic times at church and I am grateful that it has ended this way. I will part ways as a happy camper, and when I come back in September, I am stoked to work without having that label as "practicum student" and just do what I normally do!

Grindin' time!
