Finishing Up

With graduation over its on to Mayterm to finish up my college education as of sorts then. After Mayterm ends hopefully if all goes well I will have an idea of where I'm going to seminary hopefully Southeastern. But before that happens I hope to have landed a church job by then so I can generate some income for seminary. So those you who read this blog with frequency please keep me in your prayers as I'm taking mayterm and getting the needed stuff into the admissions office @ southeastern.

Graduation is Upon Us

Tomorrow is the day that 4 years has been in preparation for. I'm set to graduate from Carson Newman tomorow I will become an alumni. Funny thing is when I think about an alumni I get this picture of a feeble old man and I'm definantly not one of those. So in a sense I can't really picture myself as an alumni yet. We (the graduating class) went through practice today and it was surreal to be walking through what will be happening less that 16 hours from now. It was also exciting to realize and know that I've made it.

Fond Memories Held Dear

I just finished watching We Were Soldiers with Adam and towards the end I was overcome with a river of memories that I've had the privilege of sharing with many. Most of them were with Adam.

Late night coffee sessions when the smarter have long since been in bed resting for the day ahead. Late night to early morning strolls in nostalgic downtown Jeff City, walking across the wind-swepted and rainy Cherokee Damn enjoying what Adam and I like to call "Good Scottish Weather." Staying up late to catch whether or not Conan O'Brien would do the famous "string dance" for us. The echoing sound of trains far off in the distance making their way through Jeff City. Late night talks about nothing at all, and some about the most serious of things. Nights when my body shouted emphatically, "Go to bed" I said, "shove off!!, I'm going to Perkins." Nights I've long to retreat to my bed there would Adam and Andy wanting me to watcha movie. Also hoping to catch a glimpse of the Govenator of Conan. In my memories I find myself again walking with Adam across the dam smoking my pipe and listening just listening to wind as it breezes along.

5 days til CNC Alumni

Its kinda unsettling when you say it but its true in five days and a little mayterm I will be a Carson-Newman College Alumni. Gonna have to get one of those fancy license tag frames to advertise the fact.

I have to apologize for my lack of post as of late, I've been totally consumed with finishing up with school that by the time I get around to posting my mind is mush and incapable of forming coherent streams of thought. So at any time you see giberish that doesn't make any sense whatsoever you'll know that I attempted to post against all medical advice.

So yeah in about 5 days I close the proverbial door of my college career/life and walk across a stage and open another proverbial door call life. What awaits me is yet to be seen. I have pretty good idea that seminary education @ Southeastern Seminary is on the horizon. That is unless I land a church job where God wants me to serve. All that I leave to the one who knowns the plan that He has for me.

Finals have begun

In the bittersweetness that is finals week I've entered into my last go around here at Carson Newman. I'm really looking forward to grauation and conducting my song its gonna be great. 8 days in counting 3 or 4 finals to go nothing major just finishing up papers that are our final grades in the class.
