I somehow earned straight As for the Spring 2023 term: Two As at United Theological, and an A+ for the class I audited at Cherry Hill. That means I have actually maintained my 4.0 average through 11 terms of graduate school!

Image for this post shows a screenshot of my unofficial United transcript and a screenshot of my final grade at CHS.

My Spring 2023 term is now truly over. I submitted my Theological Reflection Essay, and I attended my final class session, for P6301 Trauma Informed Spiritual Care and Chaplaincy at Cherry Hill Seminary!

I want to submit my final paper for IC5001, Advanced Topics in Interreligious Practice. But when I access the Assignment page, I see the grading criteria and a message: "This assignment is part of an unpublished module and is not available yet."

There is no option for uploading a paper.

Oh well. I emailed the instructor. The due date is Sunday.

Well, I think I've finally finished transforming a case study into my final paper for TR2009, Eco-Theologies and Eco-Spiritualities.

Just in time to do that class' final exam, which is also due on Friday, 4/14.

But now ... to bed.

My final paper for TR2009, Eco-Theologies and Eco-Spiritualities, opens with a dire quote from "Space: 1999" and ends with a cautiously optimistic quote from "Doctor Who."

Because that's how a pop-culture chaplain rolls in academia.

Yesterday, I had to run errands. The longest drive was to return, and pick up, Mad Science kits. So, used an app to read aloud assigned PDFs while I drove. But the app didn't save my bookmarks. And now I have to go through those files *again* to find what I thought were the important parts for class. Sigh.

That feeling when ... the power cycles off and on several times, and you're trying to submit a midterm exam.

Assignment: Finish reading the book before class next Monday.

Now that it's 2023, when I tell people I'm graduating in 2024 (Lord willing), it seems WAY TOO REAL.

Stick a fork in the Fall 2022 term because I submitted my Capstone Seminar paper. I am SO DONE.

Just took the red pen to my Capstone paper. After some lunch and more coffee, I'll wrap up final edits and submit it, thereby completing the Fall 2022 term.

This Capstone paper is due tomorrow, so of course I feel a migraine coming on.

And ... I submitted my final case study for HT334 (Trauma-Informed Theology and Care in a Violent World). Just under an hour to spare! Now, I must attend the final class session.

Time to bring this paper for HT334 (Trauma-Informed Theology and Care in a Violent World) to a close. I've got about three hours until it's due.

I'm maybe more than halfway through writing my final case study for HT334 (Trauma-Informed Theology and Care in a Violent World) about hope and healing in the climate crisis. Maybe?
