I’m putting a few words down just to simply break my blog drought.  The last 6 weeks have been unbelievably busy looking back.  The main consumer of time, intellect and personal resources is, of course, grad school.  This amazing phenomena takes over when major assignments are pending–every minute that is not spent reading or writing for a class feels wasted.  Ugh!  But, alas, all of the papers that needed to be done, got done.  My thinking is as sharp as ever, but the care put into my writing seems to have tailed off as I wrap things up at Mars Hill. 

Anywho, May 6 was the big graduation day.  I will load up some pictures of the day.  What an amazing and moving time.  The surreal awareness that this was not just any graduation, but MY graduation, permeated the time.  I have a few credits left to finish this summer which will extend my time as a student for awhile.  The reality that I will not be seeing many of these familiar faces any more has not hit yet.  I just finished a class on Abuse and was surrounded by folks that I have been traveling with for three years.  The comfort I felt amongst these friends will be a lasting memory as the reality fades. 

Listening to the Mariners game as I type.  They are scrambling to get back to .500 which seems to be eternally out of reach.  It’s a fun ride, but a frustrating one as we keep up with this schizophrenic team.  Speaking of schizophrenic, how about this blog entry.  But, recall, my point was just to break the drought and get back into the habit.  Mission Accomplished!
