Finally Finished

It is almost 2am now. I have just finished writing my final term paper for the semester. It is just over 3000 words long, and I am relieved that it is finished, but not yet relaxed enough to sleep. In a few minutes I will head for bed, and in morning I will print my paper, and go up to school to turn it in. It feels good to be done.

May I recommend the novel, "The Story of Blue Eye" by Tyler Trafford? I know I mentioned it in my previous post, but I really did like the story. I know it rather intimately now, having just spent the last few days writing a 3000+ word paper about it. I enjoyed the story. I've read it twice now, and it captured my attention both times. I will definitely be watching for the next book in the series to be released. Incidentally, however, while I enjoyed reading the book immensely, I don't recommend picking it apart. In my opinion there is nothing that can ruin the enjoyment of a good novel like picking apart story lines, or, in this case, evaluating it as a source of history, and for what it communicates about such obscure and transient concepts such as frontiers, borders, borderlands and social boundaries.

I have only five classes remaining to complete my history degree. Five option classes, and I will have a degree that I'm not sure what to do with. I have loved studying history these past four years - especially the reformation history on which I have chosen to focus. It's now time to start making decisions about the future. I think I want to pursue graduate studies, possibly at a seminary. But maybe, I'll go into Education, get a B.Ed. and teach for a while and do graduate work later, when I am more financially stable again. Who knows? So many options to lay before God and ask for guidance in.
