In all of my time at BU never can I remember a time so distinctly when I was as home sick as I am now. I miss my family, my partner, my dog. Perhaps because after all of the stresses of college I associate being home with rest, and I really long for rest. Maybe […]

Today I registered for classes for Fall 2016 at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio. It’s real. It is actually happening. I am so excited!!! As graduation approaches it seems like everyone is trying to hang out just one more time. Everyone is scrambling to get their work done in the face of senioritis. I […]

So as is our tradition, the two of us (Courtney and Jaimie), go to Kenmore square after church to indulge in some really wonderful falafel sandwiches. When we got in line the woman behind the counter asked us to wait because she needed to make some more falafel balls. While we were waiting a group […]

This is my last semester at Boston University. With that in mind, I am actively trying to enjoy each moment. I cherish the music at Marsh now more than ever. I hold on to lunches and conversations with friends. I will miss this place, but now is not the time for missing. Now is the […]

With exactly a week and two days until my plane leaves and takes me home to BWI, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. In anticipation of the holidays and adventuring with family I find the stamina to make it through the last week of this semester. Maybe 24 credits […]

I love the hymns, the joy, the excitement, the Christmas gatherings, all of it! I love decorating, and lights, and snow (well that may not happen this year..). More importantly the […]

In light of all of the things that have been happening, it can be difficult to find the light. People all over the world have died, terrible deaths. Earthquakes, terrorist attacks, shootings, bombings, all make it hard to cope with the day to day. On top of that fear makes everyone a little bit crazy. […]

As I enter into the second wave of endless assignments that pile on top of each other I am beginning to be filled with anxiety. The 24 credit course load has certainly taken it’s toll. It is pretty okay, except when I have major assignments due in all 6 classes all within about three days […]

This past week one of my close friends lost a dear and beloved family member. It has been hard, as it always is when someone we love leaves us. As I sat with her and held her hand I thought about what I wanted to say. Pastor type people always know what to say. Then […]
