MIA- This is Work!

Dear Blogger.com... I have missed you so. Sadly for you, you come after all of my friends. I forget what they look like now, so you too are neglected.

Yikes is all I can say. This week has been HUGE. (HUGE, HUGE, HUGE). For starters I am taking three courses this semester that I really enjoy at present (a bit of a turn from last semester). I am taking my second semester of Hebrew, an Old Testament course, and a Spiritual Formation course. They are challenging (which I both love and despise at the same time) and awesome, but each decided to kick it into mega-hyper-drive this week. In Hebrew we went from basic grammar lessons to here parse out the first nine verses of Jonah, I had an "extra paper" do in formation (and have not even cracked my book for the intensives that start next week), and I really have to know every detail of every line of the penteteuch if I plan to eek out in OT (btw, we had an exam this week in that class). Don't forget my dear friends, that I also have a full time job and sadly not the kind where I can check out at 5pm. I have had evening engagements all week long on top of the 8-5. It's funny, I am in a study group at my church and we just talked about how God calls us to "life with margins". At that point one month ago I thought "boy, I should probably find some more margin space in my life". Now that is such a far cry from my reality that it must be a joke. Before I can try to find margins in my life I need to try to condense it down to just one page first!

Sometimes it's hard to know if I should laugh or cry. For now I think I'll blend the two. I won't stay long... it's back to painstakingly parsing out Hebrew verbs for me. All that to say, I miss the blogosphere...and my margins.
