I have turned in my paper for my Systematic Theology class--one more paper left! It's due May 11, and I have some ideas, but I haven't started. Yesterday I took some of the books for that paper out on the deck to read.
The class is the Environmental History of Christianity (EHC), so I was reading a book on climate change and Systematic Theology. Happily, my idea for my paper hasn't been done to death, based on my research. It was a bit surreal feeling, reading about the death of the planet, while I was out on the deck in the bright May sunshine, with birds singing, and all the trees in various shades of green.
It is strange to be close to being done, but not quite done. I will be doing the last grading for 2 online classes this week-end, in addition to working towards the end of the EHC class. The EHC class I took through the Consortium (a Wesley requirement), and it won't be done until May 17. I'm done with my Spartanburg Methodist classes that I taught and with my Wesley classes that I took.
Still, I'm glad for staggered endings. I wouldn't have wanted to finish everything in the same week. Now it's off to the library to get some pleasure reading, which is a way that I celebrate semester endings from way, way back.
