Done

I finished my last final today; I’m now half-way done with seminary. Nuts.

We had a Christmas lunch after the exam, then I met Ash at the train station where we caught the train to Aberdeen. We had reserved seats in the ‘quiet coach’, but apparently the two babies in the coach didn’t get the memo. Bummer.

We got here in time to babysit Marcet and Oliver so Kerry and Carter could head off for their 2 parties. We watched ‘Annie’ with the kids and then they went to bed. Marcet is now lying in bed singing ‘I Need A Hero’.

I’m glad to have this semester done. Now I just have to finish the two remaining sections of my licensure exam (this has caused mass confusion, so here’s how it works: they emailed me the written exam, I take it by myself on the honour system, then email it back to them before Dec. 25th, cool?). I have been notified by the committee that the rest of my exam will be on Jan. 11th. This will consist of an oral exam with the committee (for about three hours!), I will preach before Presbytery as a whole, and then members of Presbytery get to ask me questions. If I do alright, and am still able to stand, I’ll be licensed then and there. They had originally told me this was gonna be on the 19th of Jan, but now it’s the 11th, which means I have about a week after I preach at Christ Church to get any last minute cramming in. I have a feeling this isn’t going to be the most relaxing Christmas break ever. Oh well.

That’s it for now, I hope you’re all doing well.

    I laughed out loud about the babies not getting the memo! Congrats about being half-baked (I mean done) :) I hope you get at least some time to relax and enjoy So Cal while you and Ash are home with us and your folks. Look forward to seeing you in nine days!

    Babies. Ugh.

    As much as I love babies, I do not love when their parents continue to let them scream, cry, etc. in a designated “quiet” place, e.g., the “quiet coach,” during the Sunday morning message (especially when there’s a cry room available)…

    But congratulations on being halfway done with seminary!!!
