Well I made it home for Thanksgiving, way back in November, and made it back down to Kentucky, for my last few weeks of classes. I want to know where the last three and a half months have gone. It seems like just yesterday, Michelle and I were coming down to visit ATS for a weekend, and now I'm almost done with my first semester of classes.
Today was officially my last day of classes. It is kind of bittersweet, I love my classes (for the most part) and my professors have been wonderful. These men have taught me so much both in and out of the classroom. The saddest part of today was leaving Dr. Mulholland's class for the last time. I will only get to see him one more time when I turn in my last paper on Monday, for he is retiring after this semester. I think I have learned more from him about how to apply what we learned in class, more than my other classes combined. I am also sad that I will not get to see my Greek teacher, Brad again, until February. He has helped me through so much this semester, and I cannot wait to have him again next semester for Greek 2.
Next week will mark my last week at ATS for a month. I can't believe that finals week is here already and Graduation is tomorrow. Next week I have my final NT paper due Monday, my final IBS interpretation due Tuesday, my KCW final due Thursday, and my Greek final due by Friday (though I hope to have it done before then). This coming weekend is going to be so crazy and busy, trying to write 3 papers and study for Greek. Tuesday I get a break tough, to go play some games at my friend Abbie's house, before our IBS assignment is due. This will be fun, but again bittersweet, because I don't know how often I will see Abbie next semester, because she will not be taking classes.
Again I must ask, where has this semester gone? I can't believe I only have one more week before I'm home for over a month. But not to worry I will have plenty to work on during that month at home. I have questions for DCOM to answer, Greek to study, and possibly some reading to get a head start on, if I can get my books early, plus teaching when I can on top of all that, and of course church stuff. Well I must get working on my papers. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (And it is not the train coming down the tracks, like Krissi would say.)
So long all, I may write again after the semester is over, but if not, I'll be back on come February.
Working for Him,
Erica <><
