It's been one of those 12 hour days where you spend way too much time staring at power point slides that are screen shots of things you've already reviewed. Power pointless. Maybe it is the nature of any orientation though, or a secret bonding experience. This will not be my most coherent entry.
Things that made me happy:
1. The opening worship service. Write down the things you want to let go of, drop it in a bowl of water at the altar. Light a candle for those who brought you to this place. (I kept thinking of you, my dear ones, I would write a list, but it's late. If you are reading this, you are probably on it though. I hold you in my heart.)
2. An anecdote: A fellow MDiv noted that she once knew a fundamentalist woman who carried around oil "in case she had to anoint anyone." (I wondered if she ever used it for salad.)
3. Writing poetry about baba ganoush in morning with my suite mate.
I know that I've had moments when I needed some salad dressing but didn't have any. LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I'm glad you liked it. And, any school's first day is pretty boring with reiterating what you should have read in the syllabus.
