Under Threat of Deletion

September 2, 2008

So Adam has threatened to delete my blog if I don’t write a post by the end of the day. He said that the first day of school required a post and he had the power to delete my sadly inactive blog if I didn’t write something; and clearly there’s nothing like a threat to make me write a post about how I never write posts and today is the first day of the PhD program so it’s likely I’ll keep on not writing posts because the sheer amount of reading they want you to do just to take the tests, let alone for your classes, is a little bit crazy-making. So, here’s my post with long run-on sentences about how I don’t post and how today’s the first day of school so I probably won’t post, but at least I can repeat myself multiple times in one paragraph so you’re kind of glad I don’t post and you wonder how I got into a PhD program anyway because clearly I can’t write.

Having said all of that, I will say that it has been a hectic summer, which we are thankful to have survived in one piece and that the fall looks even more hectic and we’re a little scared. Adam started his new job as a youth pastor today and I, as has been mentioned multiple times now, start classes. Unfortunately, Adam’s new job is in Livermore, which is about 30 miles southeast of here so he has the car all day almost every day, which means that in order for me to get to class I have to walk a mile to the subway, take the subway two stops and then walk another mile to class, and then do the whole thing in reverse to get home. AND, while it is downright chilly here in the summer, it is in the 80s now so it is a little toasty for walking long distances with a bag full of books. Not that I’m complaining, I’m just saying …

So, until the next time Adam threatens to delete my blog, I wish you all the best and if you’re bored and like to read some books for me and take notes, let me know, I have a plethora …
