Christian: The bittersweet taste of the last uphill lap
While I'm very grateful to have the oral comp exam done, it is but a small piece of the work I have left. I have fewer than three weeks of school left (and only 8 days of classes), yet I have a great deal of work still to submit and plenty of material to write. The poor, neglected Kerux has suffered so badly this quarter that it really breaks my heart. So much work went into it, and so much has fallen away, and the blame is all of my shoulders. But school must come first.
Already I have begun to look around and realize how quickly these last days are going. Classrooms I will never sit in again, professors I won't have the privilege of listening to, and students I won't the privilege of spending time with. I am very glad to be finishing, but like all such accomplishments, it is a bittersweet parting.
Pray for me that I would have the endurance to finish well and to delight in the last few days of school. Soli Deo gloria.
