Another year down, a new room.

It's hard to believe it, but another academic year has flown by. I'm now a member of the "Theology 4" class, and will soon be ordained as a deacon. The picture above is of my old room at the seminary. When seminarians are ordained, they get new nameplates for their doors that say "Rev. Mr....," but it takes a while. A classmate prematurely put up a temporary "Rev. Mr." in front of my name, so it had to be clarified.

After working nonstop for a week on my thesis over the last days I managed to crank out one more chapter. I suppose I'm about half done with that project. Then, as a reward, I took time to pack up my things and move to a new room.

This is a crazy panorama I stitched together of that old room. It seems like just yesterday that I moved into that 10x10' room, but that was almost 4 years ago.

So now I'm enjoying my slightly larger room on the 2nd floor. The seminary is mostly empty as everyone has left for their summer vacations before their summer assignments begin. It's peaceful here when the place empties out. I'm thinking I might just hang out for another week and pound away at that thesis paper before I head north.
