Sorry about all these weird, personal, emotional posts lately.  I think I’m getting back on an even keel.  At least, I hope I am.

I’m feeling optimistic about school and homework, even though I suspect I am behind.  But I’m getting there, catching up (again) and maybe this time I will stay caught up.  I am also going to ETS this year, which is great.  I’m currently a week ahead in my Greek translation (thank you reading break), so that means I will stay ahead until ETS, then I can skip doing Greek that week in good conscience.

I got my abstract back from my prof and his comment was “This is very good. A great start on a very important subject.”  And the only other comments/marks on it were few and positive.  I was surprised, but perhaps I shouldn’t have been.  I got ideas in my head, and it seems that they’re not entirely accurate.  I am going to try harder to be fair to this prof (in my estimation of him).  I want to have grace for others, just as I hope they have for me.

Now I really need to get a solid thesis statement and outline down.  I told myself if I can get it done by November, maybe I can still manage to graduate this year in May.  I will have Christmas break (4-5 weeks) to really work on research and writing.  But I must have an adviser before then, so…  How quickly time flies!
