Ordination Exams - The Epilogue

First, y'all are some serious worriers. I really didn't expect so many people to think that my three day absence from blogging was a certain sign that I had met an untimely demise. But it's nice to know that you care so much in an odd, stalker sort-of way.

I turned in my exegetical exam paper on Thursday. It really went down to the wire and I turned it in at the last possible minute. Several of my test-taking cohorts were leaving the office as I showed up with paper in hand. When they saw me hoofing it toward the door, they all looked at their watches and said, "Geez, Dawn, you're cutting it awfully close." To which I could only respond, "MOOOOOVE!!!" Turns out, if this whole ordination thing doesn't work out for me, I might have a very promising career as a linebacker. Anyway, the exam is off to be reviewed by a committee of readers. God speed, little paper. God speed.

As a result of that experience, for the past three days I haven't written so much as a check; hence the absence from the blog. But I'm alive and well and back to blogging like a house on fire.

Oh, one more thing...

As a special treat to myself for finishing the paper, on Thursday night I laid in bed and watched The Daily Show and The Colbert Report before drifting off to a peaceful slumber. So those of you who wagered that Dawn would last 16 days without television, you're in the money!
