reading week

So I definitely can't complain about getting a reading week in the middle of the fall semester. That's pretty sweet. But I really could do without this take home midterm for Systematic Theology. In theory it shouldn't be difficult (two 4-5 page essays) but in reality it's driving me crazy. I mean, I've picked my questions, re-read my notes, the pertinent parts of the text books and even some extra readings. But for some reason it just won't come together for me. I have partial outlines for each topic but can't seem to wrap them up. I actually think I'm just starting to psych myself out - I got a 79 on my first paper for New Testament and I was not happy with that at all. And I've heard that my Theology is prof is one of the hardest markers at TST. But I've decided that tomorrow I start writing. Cause I have so much other stuff to get done before class starts again next week that I can't afford to lose any more time. Let me know if anyone feels like reading some short essays before they need to be handed in on Thursday ;)

So reading week is going well. I have in fact been doing things other than reading. Tonight I went to a volunteer orientation for Out of the Cold - a homeless meal and overnight program. I've really been missing that connection and it will be good to have something to do besides school. That and my yoga class ;) I also went for lunch today with one of the girls in my program. So I'm not hitting the books too hard, but hard enough of course. Speaking of which, time to get back to work. Maybe a little Greek this time.
