...And You're Still Alive?

As this year has begun, I have come to an immediate realization of two things.

First, I am a Senior. This means I have to figure out something to do with my life, and quickly. I'm probably going to seminary, but I may end up doing something else if things don't work out. As of right now, here is my narrowed-down list of five graduate school programs I will most likely apply to for admission:

1. Princeton Theological Seminary
2. Yale Divinity School
3. Duke Divinity School
4. Columbia Theological Seminary
5. McAfee School of Theology (Mercer University)

Others receiving votes: Vanderbilt Divinity School, Harvard Divinity School.

Second, I have a huge amount of work left to finish here before I can even think about applying to any of those schools above. I am still finishing research from this summer, along with trying to balance that with two religion courses (one seminar) and a fairly tough history course that I am currently taking this term. Then add to the mix that I am about to begin research with a professor in history (to count for credit winter term), and that I have two internships I will have to fulfill before the year is out (one for a scholarship and the other for Leadership programs), and that I also have a regular everyday job that takes up my time, and you begin to realize how much sleep I am about to lose this year (most of it during fall term).

I would update more, but homework is calling my name. More to come later...
