So, lets just say that my attempt to keep this blog updated on a weekly basis has obviously not happened. I realized that I have survived the first half of the semester and have learned many things that are worth sharing, but will only share a few of them. Classes are going very well and keep me busy with work most of the time. This fall we have had several guest speakers, but some of the main ones have included: Dr. Jeremiah Wright and Tony Blair. Friendships continue to develop and strengthen. Groups that meet within the seminary have started to work on projects for the academic year, which is exciting to take part in.
Many people have asked me if I have become an expert in getting to and around NYC. I have driven into NYC once and have also taken the train in for an adventure as well. The day that I took the train in I was able to walk around the city, do some shopping, see the Statue of Liberty and the NYC skyline from a ferry, enjoy a good meal, and then headed back to NJ. As far as traveling goes, I have become an expert in driving to the Newark airport and making it back to Madison. If you ever need a ride to or from the Newark airport, then just let me know!
I am very happy with my decision to come to Drew! There have been many adventures, and I am sure many more to come. This has been such an affirming experience for my call. I am trying to live in the now and appreciate this wonderful opportunity to take part in Theological Education at Drew.
