I am finally on my two week break for the semester! It has been a full few weeks leading up to it, and I'm glad for the rest. I am currently in a hotel in Jackson TN in the middle of my journey back home. I'll get home tomorrow and spend a few days with my family, and then I'll be spending a bit of time with Silas next weekend too. I'm really looking forward to not being at school and not having much schoolwork to do for just a few weeks.
A week ago I received my tentative internship assignment for next year. I am very pleased with the placement, but I'm not going to say anything publicly until I hear from my supervisor and know that he has ratified the placement as well. I'm really excited about internship now, especially now that I can begin picturing the church that I'll be working in. I'm also definitely looking forward to the experience of having a full-time job that isn't being a student! That's basically all I've done for my life, and I'm excited about getting a chance to do the work I'm learning to do for a whole year.
The past two weeks of school have been a rush to the first finish of the semester! Last week I realized on Monday that I had something due every day but Wednesday and I hadn't done any of them yet! Monday it was a presentation on feminist ecclesiology, Tuesday a presentation on Psalm 27, Thursday a sentence flow/diagram of a passage from 1 Thessalonians, and Friday an 8 page paper on my understanding of ecclesiology. I got it all done, and that Friday at noon when I turned in the last paper was a relief! This week I only had one paper due, but I was also working on getting my apartment properly cleaned and getting ready to leave for two weeks.
Now that I'm looking more seriously at my move at the end of May, I also began to look at what things I don't need in my apartment to move. I took four reusable grocery bags of books to Half Price Books last week and exchanged them for four cookbooks that I'll actually use. I need to continue paring down, and then deciding what I'll take with me to internship and what I'll put into storage, so that's going to be a continuing project over the next half of the semester.
These two weeks, though I'm going to put all of that out of mind and spend some of my free time reading for fun and some of it working on a sweater I'm knitting for Silas that I may finish by the time I graduate from seminary! I have very little time to work on my crafting projects while I'm in school, so it's nice to have a chance to play with wool again.
For now, George and I are all settled in for the night, looking forward to another long drive tomorrow. I can hardly wait to be home again.
Peace be with you all.

Full Fall Break
I've certainly had a full fall break. And I've been able to read several books.
This week I attended the Healthy Congregations national gathering, which was an interesting couple of days. I have been learning a lot about family systems theory in the past few weeks, and this conference was a continuation of that learning for me. The theory is interesting and I think it is helpful for me now and will be helpful for working in a congregation in the future. However, it was a couple of days of a lot of introspection, which left me rather tired by the end of it.
I also worked with a few other students today to pick out furniture for a room that we are remodeling so that we will have a new gathering space for relaxing as well as group studying. It should be a very nice room by the time it's finished, and I am excited to be a part of it. Picking out the furniture was fun, and I'm proud of us for coming up with a design that worked well together.
On Friday I had a long meeting about the installation service for our new president, which will take place next week. I am the leader of the banner people, and we will be helping with a procession of about 100 people. This service will be huge, and I am pleased that I will be able to help with it. It's neat to be here when something important like the installation of a president happens.
All around these meetings, I was working in the library this week. They gave me a key last week, which was good because I needed to open it up two different days this week. It was even quieter than usual, which made for some great reading time. I read a biography of Saint Augustine of Hippo, which was really interesting. I actually enjoyed my reading this week, and I feel like I've been able to catch up and even get ahead a bit for the rest of the semester.
This Friday was Silas and my second anniversary, and Friday morning I got a call saying that someone had sent me flowers. They were beautiful and it was great to talk to him that day, but I am definitely looking forward to being able to see him again in about a month.
Yesterday, after my rather busy fall break, I slept in and decided to have an introvert day. I only went out to get groceries, and in between cleaning my apartment I stayed in bed relaxing. I'm still trying to make sure I make time for myself and take care of myself. I'm trying to practice yoga regularly, and I am also trying to have a small personal devotion time every day so that I can get out of my head when it comes to my faith on occasion. Talking about theology all day is different than actually practicing faith, I have found.
Today I had a bit of an adventure, as the girls I was picking out furniture with for the room, Dr. Ott, and I drove up to northern Ohio to attend the church which gave us the money for the furniture. We left at 5:30 this morning, and had a really nice time at the church. It was nice to see others and be able to thank them for the money. They have a large mission endowment fund that they spread out every year and it was interesting to see the other mission programs they gave money to as well. We went out to lunch after the service, and then I crocheted on the long drive home. It was a full day, but it was a nice way to spend the morning and early afternoon.
I also decided this afternoon that I needed to rearrange my living room so that I would be able to keep my sewing table out permanently. I moved some things around, and now I have my sewing table out as well as room to lay out my yoga mat whenever I need to. Both are good practices for me for my own mental well being. I also made hummus and black bean burgers for my lunches this week, and decided that I may have to invest in a food processor soon.
Now I'm off to have dinner and a movie date, before I begin the second half of my semester. I can't believe how far I've come already.

Tea and Books
This is a sentiment I feel pretty strongly, but have absolutely no time to act on now; so I thought I'd share.

Anniversary
I got some of the inspiration for this from a day sometime last year when I spent some time on a rainy Friday with my mom and a librarian reading the titles of trashy romance novels in the back of a library.
"I really don't want to do this," he said, trying to beg off our anniversary celebration. I stared him down and handed him the book.
"We're best friends and it's our one year anniversary - you are doing this," I replied settling into my half of our reading nook.
Our reading nook is a spot he carefully carved into his garden years ago. On three sides it is surrounded in spring blooms and lush summer foliage, and the fourth side is open to view the rest of the garden. The thick leaves block out all the sounds other than the wind gently moving through them. It was a beautiful fall day - the sun was shining but it was cool, and it was the last few weeks before these leaves would turn and fall. Soon the garden would sleep for the winter, and this nook would sleep as well.
He settled back into his pile of pillows and glared right back. "I just don't know why you feel the need to make this a celebratory thing - it's not really something that puts me in my best light." He was trying to stall, but he knew I wouldn't let up.
"A year ago today I found you here reading a trashy romance novel. That opened up a whole new side to our friendship, and we're celebrating" I replied. He closed his eyes, likely remembering the day I walked over unannounced to borrow something and found him out here in that compromising position.
"Fine," he said, "I don't get why you're making me do this but I know you won't let up."
"Good." I replied, opening up my own copy of the book for when my turn came. "Now start reading."
He began with the title - "The Greek Tycoon's Disobedient Bride," he announced in a grudging, but appropriately melodramatic voice, before proceeding to read aloud chapter one.

In Which I Have a Lot of Knitting
Wow....
How did October get here already?
First off the college catch up:
Classes are fun (bet you don't here that from many people), they're pretty much the same as they've been.
I've had time to read a lot more than I thought I would so I've been reading a bit of Shakespeare. I don't think I'd read any of his comedies before and I really like them! Always learning something new.
With it being fall and a little colder up here than it is in Texas, I've had oppurtunities to wear stuff I've made, and I love it. Unfortunately it's also given me a bad case of startitis.
I'm currently working on five projects and I've ordered three more which are being shipped to me now. That's more projects on the needles than I've ever had before.
I'm still working on Joe my blanket, but it's gotten so big that it just lives on my bed now and can't travel anywhere.
I'm also working on an unnamed scarf that I started before college. It's a beautiful gray lace scarf and I love the feel of working with it.
I recently started a shawl in a pretty blue-green for a knit-a-long. I have to purposely drop stitches in it and I love it. It's named Anne.
I also ripped out a fingerless mitten I had made a year ago and am changing it into a lace neck scarf.
Then I wanted to learn how to do circular knitting with the magic-loop method so I ripped out Juliet, my pretty cotton yellow gloves with cables up the arm, and restarted them with magic-loop and it's working out much better.
See? I told you I've got startits! I started all those new projects within days of eachother.
Now I've ordered three kits. One is a kit of knitted ornaments that I'm going to decorate my room with for dead week and finals week. The second is a knitting bag that will teach me how to make linings and and use interfacing. And the thrid is a kit for a hat and gloves to teach me fair isle (knitting with two colors of yarn in one row), which was one of my goals at the begining of the year!
All this knitting will keep my hands busy and warm all winter.
Alright, tired of hearing about knitting?
In other news my classes at the Colvin Rec Center are going really well and I'm imporving greatly in both boxing and yoga. My boxing class has dropped from 20 people to about 8. It means we get to learn a lot more in each class because Jeremy, the teacher, only has a few of us to correct.
The other big part of my life here at OSU remains the Canterbury center with the Episcopalians. I love going to a church that has such a small congregation, because everyone knows each other; and I still love the two-three nights a week I spend at Canterbury, the people and conversation are great.
I also went on another tour of the library this week and found a fantastic study spot! It's on the fourth floor facing big arched windows so during the day it's really sunny and really beautiful. I also checked out a couple of books on e. e. cummings and I don't have to give them back till the end of January if I don't want to! How cool is that?
All of these things are keeping me very busy, and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow when I don't have any pressing responsibilities until the play in the evening.

In Which I Do a Little Bit of Everything
School is finally winding down and I'm already getting ready for my next semester in the fall.
I've been looking into what classes I want to take at school and I've been looking for dorm stuff. Apparently I picked very unpopular colors for my dorm as my mom and I can't seem to find them. I choose orange and black for my bathroom because of the orange washcloths I've been knitting in my philosophy class and purple for my bedroom because of the purple, black and yellow blanket I've finally started and plan on having finished by the time I get to school.
In classes now everything is getting close to the finish. We're reading Hamlet in English, doing a unit of the philosophy of logic, truth, and science in Philosophy, and reading Billy Budd by Herman Melville in Lit. I still really don't like Melville - Billy Budd is at leas short, but the story isn't even really good. I thought I might like it because it's something of an exploration of opposite personalities, but instead it just makes me angry like Moby-Dick did (and yes the hyphen is supposed to be there).
On a happier note, I got accepted to the Freshman Research Scholars program at OSU and I'm very excited! The class I take for this program is taught by the dean of the arts and sciences college and there's only 16 people in it! I think I'll really enjoy doing a research project next year and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to do another one my sophomore year.
While I'm making plans for the fall semester I'm also making summer plans. The only big event I have is the National Lutheran Youth Gathering in New Orleans. It should be great fun. The rest of the summer I plan to spend buying stuff for my dorm, knitting my blanket, and reading classic novels.
When I got accepted to the FRS program I realized the only classic novels I've really read are Jane Austen novels and I think I should expand my horizons a bit. I've been making a list and every time I go to borders now I spend time lingering in both the knitting section and the required reading for schools aisles.
Despite being so busy I have gotten quite a bit of knitting done lately because I temper my homework schedule with knitting breaks. I knit an entire wrap - Emma - in two weeks because I wanted to wear it on Easter. I was up at one in the morning before Easter watching The Ten Commandments on TV sewing on the buttons and weaving in the ends!
I've also started my black hand towels for college and I've finally collected all the yarn and started my dorm blanket!! It's really soft yarn that's knitting up really well, I'm very happy with it and I haven't even finished the first block of color yet. There will be pictures when there's something more to show!
That's the highlights for this semester (I really might blog more than once every few months after this)
Until next time!

In Which I barely write about knitting
Woah, I haven't updated this since September.
Let's blame it on schoolwork shall we?
Let's see, what have I been doing since September? Hmm...
Well for the headlines: Due to my Government class I hate politics more than ever; Due to the people in my History class I worry for Humanity; I'm passing Spanish; I barely work anymore so I don't have any money to spend on yarn, books, or other things; My youth director moved to Longview, TX and at her goodbye ceremony I cried in front of most of the people I know at church; When I do read a book nowadays I devour it and am done in a day or less; And I finally found some bright orange cotton so I've begun making washcloths and I plan to knit a black linen hand towel or too go to along with them.
So that's the basic Idea of the past two months.
Latley, life has been fairly routine. I knit as much as I can and for some reason two girls in my history class whose names I don't even know seem to think that because I knit before my history class I want to talk to them for some reason. Mostly I make polite responses and hurry into class as soon as Professor Rye shows up. This is the first semester that perfect strangers in school talk to me because of my knitting, it's kind of weird. People talk to me about it in government and spanish too, but I actually don't find them annoying so it's pretty cool.
In other news, I'm still really enjoying reading poetry and I have begun writing a poetry journal in which I copy out some of my favorite poems and then write a couple of lines about what they mean to me or why I like them. I've also written a couple of poems, but they're a long way away from being able to be seen by anybody. I also have read a few new good books lately. As I mentioned earlier I devour books when I get a chance to read them. For instance, earlier today I read not one but two new books I got from the library at 1pm. While I admit that neither of these books were very long, I still am surprised that I finished the second one.
In talking about books I would like to make an observation about book trends of the last few months. We all know that the final Harry Potter has been out for awhile and those people who don't really read outside of that series were looking for new books to create a fandom for. For many of those people they picked the Twilight Series which are vampire romance stories. Now I am very happy that people my age are reading, in comparing my life and education experiences to those who don't read much I think my love of books has really been an advantage, but I don't get all the hype with vampire romances. To me it seems like trying to mix two very different genres. I like both science fiction and chick-lit books, just not squished together. I think that's just weird.
My mom recently read a different vampire romance and did enjoy it, and I am by no means shunning all those who love twilight, but I occasionally begin to feel how I'm pretty sure Mom feels whenever someone tells her that if she would just give Jane Austen a try she would really like it. People in my youth group have read Twilight, people in the tap class I barely belong to have read Twilight, my neighbor was one of the first people to read and recommend Twilight to me. But I still haven't read it and I have no intention of reading it or even of seeing the movie unless someone else pays me to go see it, and even then I'm bringing my knitting. So just to let anyone who reads my blog and wants to know, I will probably never read a vampire romance because I just really don't like vampires.
So that is my rant about books for the time being, I'm going to go start another book and try to figure out the measurments that I want my new felted gray beret to be. (More on that in another post.)
I'll write again soon!

So just to let anyone who reads my blog and wants to know, I will probably never read a vampire romance because I just really don't like vampires.
So that is my rant about books for the time being, I'm going to go start another book and try to figure out the measurments that I want my new felted gray beret to be. (More on that in another post.)
I'll write again soon!
