Ok… so like a good southern girl, I lined all my kitchen and pantry shelves. I also cleaned the apartment (with a great deal of help from IZ). It appears that cleaning the apartment before you move in is a concept unknown to this Seminary. Evidently, people preoccupied with the pursuit of higher theology can not be bothered with the basic concepts of domestic hygiene. But, in comparison to the place I’m in NOW, the new apartment is at least habitable. We will concentrate on the NEW carpet and paint…
I am facing a HUGE dilemma. It appears that I will be off -line for a week. Can we say PANIC. I don’t know… this does not bode well for me. In fact, I am such a known junkie, that when one of my professors learned I was to be off-line for a week she wrote, “That’ll be tough for you. being offline. Kind of like a spiritual ascetic practice, eh?” I wrote back to express that it feels more like Purgatory… and hopefully, people will be praying me out of it ASAP!
This probably isn’t my last post before the move… but it’s getting close. So… for those of you who pray… remember me as I begin this journey without my favorite communication tool. I’ve been told that the phone service will go un-interrupted. But the truth is… I have NO idea where I put the phone… nor how to use it if I should locate it. S i g h. I think I will rummage through the GTU course catalog and see if I can find a “basic phone use 101!” You never know.
Oooh… in the MEANTIME… check out this site…
