Balance

There's a bit of a conflict going on in me at the moment. Trying to balance academic work with the job search is a bit of a struggle.

This Thursday me and Tash will be visiting a parish in the South-West, spending a day with the vicar and trying to work out if it:
(a) could be a good working relationship
(b) could be somewhere that we feel we could live and work
(c) is going to throw up anything unexpected

I'm trying to prepare myself by coming up with all sorts of questions that I want to ask, and trying to anticipate what is going to be asked of me. After I'd written my own list I then looked at the handy list provided by the college, which just made my list even longer. Hopefully the day won't merely consist of us each asking the questions off of pieces of paper.

And this is all distracting me from the work I need to do to keep my head above water in this terms disciplines of Doctrine and Ethics. Lots of reading to do, not only for the weekly seminars, but now also the essay deadlines loom about 6 weeks away....

Ohhhh - this sounds horribly familier...but you will get through it, even if it does take a few alnighters on the essays!

Continuing to pray for you all...
