Stick a fork in me…

This is one of those days where I’m ready to be done with school. I’m done.

This is one of those days where it’s very tempting to leave seminary and pursue a Masters in Storytelling at ETSU. In some ways, it would be more beneficial because it appears that storytelling is the direction that sermons are (at least, should be) heading.

It ain’t gonna happen, but I still entertain the thought from time to time. Of course, that thought pops up more when I have all kinds of projects and papers due. If I were to leave Emmanuel, I wouldn’t have to write any more exegetical essays – and what fun would that be?

Speaking of the essay, I’m a big ol’ dork-head. I picked a passage that is huge, rather than picking a small, managable piece. What was I thinking? Oh – I know what I was thinking…I really like this story and there’s no way I’m going to try to translate something outside of the Gospels! It really hurts trying to translate the epistles in such a way that it makes sense. Fortunately, the paper is only supposed to be something like 1,200 words – which is pretty easy.

I’m more concerned about my translation for my huge passage. What was I thinking?

In more positive news, I got an A on the Greek midterm. That has to brighten my day…doesn’t it?
