Que cera, cera

I just submitted my last mid-term to my professor and his grader.  I am so happy to be done with the madness.  How did I do?  Maybe a better question would be "How do I feel?"  I feel like my brain was put into a slingshot and then torpedoed into a brick wall.  (Put that on one of those motivational posters.) 

I don't think I'm going to repeat my stellar college GPA as I pursue my MA here due to the combination of having a child (hey, if my child wants me to read a book to him, I can't say "no" to that!) and the fact that seminary is no joke.  It now makes so much sense why I only know one other mom with young children attending seminary.  I feel like the joke is on me.

I'm not going to cry about it (because I already did).  I'm going to move on, and ask God to guide me and assure me that this is what is right for me or to snatch me the heck out of here if it's not what I'm supposed to be doing. 

Anyway, here's the stats:
  • Old Testament I - 83 (BTW, that's a "C" at the seminary)
  • Baptist History - BOMBED (It was over everything; I did make a 94 on my paper though.)  Just submitted on Friday.
  • Biblical Counseling - Better than Baptist History, at least an 80.  Just submitted tonight.

I see why so many people get burned out by seminary.  It's easy to lose that excitement of changing the world for God when you have become a theological robot.

BUT--Brighter days are coming.  I will have more upbeat and giggle-inducing blog posts soon.  No hints.  :)
