One week

I only have one week until I take my comprehensive exams for my Masters degree. I was thinking today, I can't believe I am so close to being finished. I have been in school for it seems like forever. I am nervous about the exam and am praying that I pass so that I don't have to enroll for another semester to take them again later. If that happens, I will suck it up and do it, but hope it doesn't come to that.
I am looking forward to being done so that I can go back to dinner club again and don't have to worry about studying, papers, and presentations. I have enjoyed learning and will continue to read and stay up on issues even after I am done, but I can do it on my own time.

I think I am most looking forward to being able to read for pleasure again. It is hard to enjoy reading when you are forced to do it. What I read for class is interesting to me, but not necessarily fun. Soon... more fun reading!!

Lately I have been wishing I were back on the camino. I don't think I will ever finish processing my experiences. I am anxious to some day do it again. I know that sounds crazy, but I loved it! The lack of worries, anxiety, fears, and other emotions was amazing. I felt closer to the Lord than ever. I met some the most incredible people ever and challenged myself beyond what I ever could have imagined. I am looking for ways to discover parts of the trip in my day to day life.
