Some reflections!

I finished my degree on Friday, handing my last 2 essays in. Its a bit weird this afternoon! I don't have essays to write, this is the first time really since starting my AS levels 5 nearly 6 years ago! Since when I finished my A-levels I immediately started my Faith and Worship: Local Preachers course. So now I am left with some time to relax- I find that hard! Today feels very weird because usually I feel I shouldn't have an afternoon nap because I have things to do, yet today I can!

Anyway so what is next? Well I am off to London to do my first year of three as a pre-ordination student, I am currently only doing one year in London and then will go elsewhere for two further years. People keep asking what will I be doing! Well at the minute I am not too sure of that either- apart from working with people on the margins of society. What I do know is that I shall be living at Kings Cross in the Methodist Chaplaincy House. I shall be visiting London in a couple of weeks time to find out more! So then I will know and be able to share with people! So at the minute its a bit of a waiting game! I find this frustrating! I need to learn patience! I look forward to visiting London. One or two people have said how scary London is to live- especially Kings Cross! Thanks for the encouragement and reassurance!

The past few weeks have been a bit strange, having been busy writing essays (as any students have been!), going to candidates committee etc.
What I think I find very strange is candidates committee has HAPPENED! Its finished! For 5 1/2 years it was always something of the future yet it has happened! Not sure that everything has really sunk in! I am wondering when it will actually sink in! Initially I thought it had but now I am not quite sure! I think with all the essays that needed to be written and the stresses of them and then preaching twice yesterday, things have been quite hectic!
I guess this week now essays are finished that things might have more time to sink in!
Any way, enough rambling for now!
