The home stretch

I am now officially done with 2 of my Spring semester classes... with only 1 take-home exam remaining which is due Monday, and a project due next Friday. It kind of feels like I am in that last leg of a race where I can see the finish line...

This weekend Lynn and I are going down to New Jersey for her cousin's wedding, so I feel like I can finally take a deep breath for a moment from these hectic last few days of exams and get ready for one last push after Matt's wedding.

This semester has all in all been really productive. I got most of my required classes for Theology out of the way during my first three semesters, so I was able to take more electives this semester with professors I've wanted to take. I also had the opportunity to take a class on Christian Schools, which was definitely timely as I have been applying to a few different schools to teach at next year in North Carolina.

This being my first semester married, I have actually been surprised at how much being married has benefited my student life. Wednesdays in Portsmouth gave me the opportunity to catch up on reading and assignments, and I think I so wanted to spend time together in the evenings with Lynn, that it made me work harder during the days. So, anyways... definitely a plus of married life that I wasn't expecting!

Well, I will keep everyone posted over these next few weeks as to how things finish up here, and any job replies that I hear. Next Friday Lynn and I are heading down to Charlotte for Andrew & Suz's wedding... and are looking forward to seeing friends from NC for the first time since the wedding!
