2012 is gearing up to be a very busy year for me academically. The plan is to have all of my courses done by Christmas and then all I’ll have left is my thesis. While this is very exciting, it is also a little overwhelming.
Here’s what this year looks like for me:
Next week: Theology of Forgiveness and Reconciliation
February: Finish my Greek II course (by distance learning)
March: Reformation Era
May: The Patristic Fathers
June: Theology of Christ and Reconciliation
Fall Semester: Spiritual Formation; Theology of God & Creation; Research Methods; Pauline Epistles
Any tips on how to stay sane?

My “elderly” husband managed a similiar schedule for 3 years in a row. You are managing to be a mom during this hectic schedule and he was managing health issues. Not sure that is fair comparison, but you will manage and do extremely well……I have no doubt!!
I’m excited for you.
Dear Amanda, I have been scouring over wordpress for ‘reasonable’ theological writers and aspiring writers to contribute articles to the Homophilosophicus blog. We are looking for theologically literate people from all walks of live to fill in some of the blanks. Biblical Studies, Feminism, Theology of the Body and a host of other topics which we would like to explore are on the agenda. Of course we are also open to suggestions. Why not come and take a look and let us know if you are interested in becoming a contributor.
More about Homophilosophicus – It is hoped that by the end of the year we will be able to publish some of our more interesting discussions and hold an annual academic seminar at the University of Dublin, Trinity College in Ireland. To this point we have been focused on Liberal, Catholic and Orthodox theology but in the year ahead it is sincerely hoped that this will be opened up to broader theological investigation.
Tips on staying sane:
Take one day at a time, keeping Jesus’ words in mind, “Sufficient for the day is the trouble thereof.”
Do everything you can do in one day, then put the rest in God’s hands and get some sleep.
Be sure to look up into tree branches, or across a quiet river, or into a starry sky, frequently. They’ll remind you that school is not as real as they are.
