Entrance Exam

When I walk out of that room, I hope that someone will say to me, "welcome to the first day of the rest of your life." It would make my semester.

I just realized I haven't really broadcasted to people curious about me any information on my accreditation process. So here you go:

I will be interviewed by Ron Goerzen, Ken DeMaere, and Miriam Charter on February 11, 2014 (haha, I wrote 2013 at first by accident), at 2pm. This is my accreditation interview that will more or less be the gateway for me to work in the Alliance in Canada.

Following the accreditation interview, I've also set a couple other interviews up with the different districts to see what kind of job opportunities are available for after I graduate.

To be quite honest, I'm terrified. This is like, for those that don't know, the front gate of being allowed into the city. If I am allowed to pass, then I am free to explore the possibilities of real job opportunities. A lot of the nights this week, I've been unable to sleep because I'm trying to think through all the things that I need to know in order to answer the questions they'll likely ask me. Having met Ron and Ken before, they are nice guys - strong and bold, but nice. Between the three of these interviewers, they have years and worlds of experience, so I'm likely going to be intimidated by them and have some sense of fear (out of respect).

If I were to tell you now, the reason they pass me won't be because of my widespread knowledge on the bible or theological terms and all that scholarly stuff, it'll be because of my vision and passion to follow the Lord. I've been lucky enough to have been raised by some amazing people, who just so happen to be colleagues of these interviewers, so it's in my hopes that some of these amazing people have rubbed off on me so that I can resemble at least somewhat of a ministry worker.

And if that isn't enough for me to mull over, I also have three or four papers due before Reading Week. Of course, speaking of which, I don't get a Reading Week because of my mod course. I think I'm okay with that. I'll still be able to have a bit of peace and quiet as the dorms will likely be rather empty throughout the week.

Honestly, though, I can't even keep my mind on any of my school work because I'm overly excited about this interview, that it basically consumes all my thoughts, in a good and bad way.

Anyhow, probably after my interview, and I get the green light for being lisenced to work in the Alliance, it'll ease my mind a lot so that I could focus on the rest of my school work.

Hope everyone is having a good start to February. Enjoy the Olympics!
