Well, classes started last week for Jas, and this week for me. Now that ODS is out of the way, I am officially back in the full swing of things as a full time student/part time pastoral intern/part time officer/full time boyfriend.
This week is a little bit hectic to be starting classes for me because the pastor at the church I am interning at is out after having his hip replaced, and the associate pastor is out of the country as the keynote speaker at a presbyterian women's conference, so I am the point man for the church. Thankfully, it has been a relatively quiet week and we have Deb, a wonderful parish associate, who is doing this week's sermon so I can concentrate solely on next week's.
I am looking forward to this semester because my classes seem pretty interesting; I am taking a performance preaching class, a class observing the interactions of Christians and Islam and how this effected the hybridity of art from each culture, and and New Testament Exegesis. I took NT Exegesis last Spring, but dropped it because I was taking 5 classes, searching for an internship, and finishing up everything in the process of Navy selection. The class was at the end of the week, and and I simply neglected it to get everything else done. Once I realized how much I had missed, there was no point to continuing so I dropped with plans to take it again this semester.
What I am REALLY looking forward to this semester however has nothing to do with school. One Ms. Jasmine Megan Kersting has potentially found a job in Corte Madera (which she will check out in two weeks when she comes to visit [this :D is my super happy face]). She dropped her class commitments for this semester, and has had several online courses approved that she can take over the Summer. Now she just needs to work through the 4th of March to cover the education assistance she received from her current job, then I hop on a plane (one way) after class on the 6th, and meet all of her friends for a going away party, a bunch of packing belongings into the Pontiac (or little black golf ball as I lovingly call it), a quick AM meeting, and we are off to the bay. :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more one weekend a month! No more having to make eye contact one at a time on Skype! No more distance! We will live close, see one another regularly, be able to hug after a bad day, be able to look into each others eyes rather than a camera on our macs. In case you haven't figured it out, I am VERY excited, happy, giddy if you will.
After 9 months of being in a long distance relationship, we will now be in just a relationship, and I couldn't be happier.
