apologies & news.

though i don't think anyone is that much of a dedicated reader, i wanted to apologize for the lack of gospel reflections for the calendar weeks. it has been a very busy few weeks, but i am going to try (keyword, folks) to get back into such things. until then, you will get:

- whatever i plan to say this sunday in andalusia at the church i'm speaking at
- my first non-fiction essay i'm turning in in about a week to two weeks for class
- whatever else i feel like saying ;)

i wanted to at least give a short list of the classes i am taking this semester:

- advanced non fiction writing
- creative writing internship (not really an internship, more of a guided study)
- victorian poetry
- interdisciplinary studies: science fiction
- women's literature
- selected topics: learning the old english language

thankfully, very excited about all courses listed, ESPECIALLY women's lit. the only class that is currently "scary" so to speak is old english, so we will see how that goes. i already have loads of homework, so wahoo!

outside of 18 hours of class this semester i will be:

- trying to get into grad school
- working at the writing center as a peer tutor
- an educational forums director at the wesley foundation
- doing leadership scholar work with the wesley
- working on a short film project
- staying on the journey towards being a confirmed episcopalian (which occurs in november or maybe february? still pending.)

strangely, i am excited about doing all of this. i am in high spirits and have a good feeling about these classes. i only wish i didnt already have that homework.

anyway, wanted to keep everyone up to speed with my life. expect something better, maybe more deeply theological, soon. blessings. :)

Sounds quite delightful and thought evoking. My bests, dear Double A.

Old English should be fun. I would really love to be able to study it one day. It uses some pretty heavy case-marking, so be ready for it (hopefully you have studied a language that used case-marking before). It's a really awesome language; I hope they teach some of the development/history as well, and not just the straight speaking/writing of it.
