With my move to Lafayette, I am officially an online learner. It's really lonely. It's hard to stay motivated. I need to get better at a schedule.
I have several papers I need to post from work over the summer... I'll get to them eventually.
Reflections from a girl trying to figure out what religion means in her life and world.
I created this blog as a way to process and record my experience as a seminary student. I also hope it will provide a platform for my friends and family to participate in the journey. Some of the entries are kind of long, but what can I say--I was in graduate school, they made us do that...
Cheers!
Cheers!

Sorry... I never really posted all my final work. I think being an online learner my third year made it more difficult to sit down and blog!
