What a month. I don't even know where to start...
Well, I did not get into school. But I did get the "good" rejection letter that says something like "Please try again next year. No, really, please try again next year. No, really, I'll call you sometime, we should...hang out...or something sometime. Yeah. Yeah. Good to meet you. Bye."
Okay, I am a little bitter. It really was the good letter and they are offering to help me out with my application next year. But still, sigh.
It is almost time for finals. I have one paper, one big final to study for, and a song to whip into shape for public performance. Well, and then another paper talking about my experience in the singing class.
At this moment I am in my last Conspiracy class. The class itself was fascinating. The question-and-answer section often gets a bit boring, though. And we're having an extra-long one because it's the last class.
I got really sick early this month and spend three weeks in the hospital or under daily care. It seems to be under control, and I got a lot of good help and new medication. But it sure threw a wrench in my life. I'm still really tired and kind of just plain wiped out from the whole thing, but I am slowly scraping all the bits together and carrying on. I used up all my vacation time, all my sick time, and all my personal days. Luckily, some of those should accrue back pretty fast.
I'm going to be taking an intensive Spanish Class this summer, 8 weeks, 5 days a week, 3 hours a day. I'm really excited about it, except that it has suddenly occurred to me that this will make Sessions really difficult for me. (that and my lack of Vacation days) I don't see that I can miss an entire week of class right before exams. I need to think about this. I'm on the Correspondence committee for the YM, so I kind of need to be there.
Okay, grad students are presenting papers. Off to listen.

Well, Amanda, it's good to read you again, even if only to know that you are back on your feet and able to turn your attention and energy to things other than illness.
Do continue to care for yourself, to hold yourself in the Light from time to time, and to carve out time for Love, God, and Beauty.
Blessings,

I find Liz has said much of what I was going to say... slow down a little, be joyful and ... well as Thomas quotes Yeshua... in answer to "how will we know the children of light?" "By movement and rest." In school I wanted to do EVERYTHING that was open to me... if I didn't get into a class, I would BEG the professors... and now, looking back, the few who said no, the class is full and you are taking a lot of credits... or in the case of McGeorge Bundy... reguarding his class at NYU, "No. And close the door on your way out..." taught me a lot, not more not less, but taught me about ballance... movement and rest.
Wishing thee silly time this spring, and foolish time this summer...
FEEL BETTER!!!!!!!!!!
in frith and friendship
