All Over

So the last of the exams have been done (for the moment at least), Jonathan and I have packed up all my belongings from the college (I really had that much?!), and I have caught up on my sleep a little. I can't quite believe that it is all over and the 3 years has passed by so fast. It has been a little surreal saying au revoir to all my calssmates and knowing that it will never be the same again. I am not really uspet as I have spent most of my adult life moving on and not always by my own choice.
I will be on line a little more I hope tracking the life and times of a green curate. I think it is all a little surreal at the moment. I have the uniform, the ember cards have gone out, the teasing has increased and now the exams are over it is the next thing on the calender. I have been astounded by the support I have had and the interest that there is my ordination. So many people seem to care, its humbling.
That will be an even stranger day than leaving college I imagine.

Hey, such a long time no blogs. Am on the last round up now. Term has ended and the study weeks have begun. It's a little more complicated this year as there is all the pre ordnation stuff to do as well. I have had my medical and all clear. I have had my eyes tested and all has become clear! Ember cards are written and being posted. The wall between my and Jonathan's bedrooms is being moved mext week as he is growing and I am getting shorter (discs compressing - it happens with age...). The outdoor office should be in place by the end of this month as there is a roomful of books in the college that is due for transfer here. I have clerical shirts on order (can't quite believe it myself), and need to shop for a suit to wear to my ordination.


So far this year I have packed in a trip to London with Jacq, my little sister for her big birthday. A trip to Berlin with my lovely children to have the chance to hang out with them for the weekend, and a spin to Barcelona with some of my classmates because the chance presented itself. Its no wonder I'm tired.


Despite the long silence, I would hope to be more active on the blog as I learn the new job and get back to life in the real world.
