Day 3 of Hermeneutics

Day 3 of Hermeneutics was the best yet! I am finding that I seriously enjoy the classroom setting. I like wrapping my mind around new concepts, the exchange of opinions of other students, stories and wisdom from my professor, and the confidence is building in me! I was mentally pooped by the end of the day, but I wished a little bit that I had class again tomorrow - I will miss sitting in that big circle talking about new hermeneutical tools and God's word.

Being back on campus has brought comfort in the familiar, but frustration with the problems of the day. It makes me long to be at the end of the educational process and working in a different field. I love my job most days, but the discipline part gets old. I understand the principle that each year we get new students and have to teach them our community expectations - a task that is repeated each and every year. Even though I understand that, it gets a little wearing to be describing the "whys" behind our expectations for the umpteenth or umphundredth time. I would love this job so much more if I didn't have to do the discipline! But they couldn't really justify paying me to have that much fun! I have to earn my pay with a little bit of the yuck work.

Well, this tired girl is heading to bed!
