Not promising anything here, but I'm hoping to blog out my seminary experiences for you all y'all (I'm practicing my 'southern' so when I go to Wisconsin they can tell I'm from Texas, yo) to follow along with me. Its been a lot of work already, and I haven't even gotten started yet. The registration process has been long and not very streamlined. I found out today, for example, that I have to take either a GRE or MAT test before being accepted. From what I've read online, this is going to be very un-fun and most heinous. One test is broken up into three parts, reading, writing and math. I'm pretty great at 2 of those things. I am completely horrible at math. The other test is analogies. For example:
UNION JACK : VEXILLOLOGY
Speaking of the flight, on the way back, I'll have a 3 hour layover at Bush Intercontinental in Houston from 8:20am to 11:15am. If you want to come buy me lunch, I'll let ya! hehe.. I'll also tell you all the stuff I hopefully will have blogged by then, plus all the stuff I couldn't post!
WALK : LEGS
A. blink : eyes
B. chew : mouth
C. dress : hem
D. cover : book
E. grind : nose
C. dress : hem
D. cover : book
E. grind : nose
That one's pretty easy. Check this one out:
UNION JACK : VEXILLOLOGYA. toad : ornithology
B. turtle : microbiology
C. gymnosperms : botany
D. friend : home economics
E. algae : zoology
B. turtle : microbiology
C. gymnosperms : botany
D. friend : home economics
E. algae : zoology
uh... wut?
*answer way at the bottom... don't cheat!
So, anyway... I have to take one of them. Maybe I'll do both and hope I get lucky on one of them. I hate these kind of tests and don't usually do well on them. :/ Not sure why I need to be decent at algebra to be a priest, but whatever.
But, on to the GOOD NEWS!
I booked my flight to Wisconsin and it was very graciously paid for by Fr. Art Moore, who I met very briefly at the Anglican 1000 conference a few months back. When he heard I was starting seminary, he gave me his card and told me if I didn't lose it, he'd pay for my flight.
When I called him, he was surprised I remembered. Heh. Anyhow, THANKS Fr Art!!

I'm a little anxious about going up there because, if you know me at all, you know I'm not a big fan of forced interaction and I'm imagining a whole week of small groups and group projects with people I don't know. Nightmare.
Anyhow, keep watching here or on FaceBook for more updates! In one week, 2 years of intensity starts!
PS- the answers were B and C.
