Senioritis and a New Obsession

I have been a school for a month now, and can't wait until I graduate, or at least get new classes. I like learning, but getting up to go to class I want to stop. I'm ready to be married and go to a job everyday. The only thing that scares me is having a job that I hate, and wanting to be back in school! Choices, choices, choices...

My new obsession is the wonderful British show "Doctor Who". It has been running from 1963-1989 and then restarted in 2005 and has been running since. The Doctor is an alien that can regenerate himself when he is about to die, so many different people (10 so far) have played the Doctor.

The Doctor travels around in his spaceship the TARDIS. It stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. So he can travel anywhere and go to any time period. He travels to save the world and other plants and species again and again. The funny thing is that he doesn't want to kill anything, he always wants to help some other way, but some things die every once in a while.

Also, the Doctor is a bit of a player. He always has an assistant with him, and it is always a woman. Rose, his most memorable, he saved and then invited her to come with him and see the universe. It is always some thirst for adventure that brings them along.

I feel like there is some deep, theological meaning that I can pull from it. But for now, I am enjoying their adventures and the accents.

Classic Covenant

I have grown up in the Swedish Covenant Church. In the past few years, I have learned more about the theology and traditions of the Church and traditions of Sweeds, not being one myself. Today at work, I did the most Covenant thing I have ever done.

I am working at the Center for Youth Ministry Studies at North Park University. Tomorrow is a march to honor all the youth shot in Chicago in the past year. CYMS is bringing a group of people tomorrow, so Alison wanted me to get some things ready. She needed me to get everything ready for coffee and pastries tomorrow morning! It's just like a group of Covenanters to go to a march for Justice, but bring coffee and treats for everyone. And yes, I am proud to be part of it all.
