It Ain't Over Yet

Y'all Thought It Was Over . . .
But it ain't over yet! Yes, today is the last day of the month of May. And yes, usually on the last day of the month, the current blogger will get out the hankies and bid the 90&9 section of the blogosphere farewell. But this month will be a tad different in that I've been commissioned to go on through the rest of the week, which will bleed over into June.

However, this coming Monday, a dynamic duo of sisters will arise, and their tag-blogging is sure to be a treat. So stay tuned—more details to come!

UGST Goes On
The class is just getting awesomer by the day. We began today going over researching methods and were introduced to some online resources to help us begin researching for our final papers. The prospect of the 20 pager is a little daunting, but I'm sure I'll tackle it as I've done other stuff connected to this class, so it'll be all good.

I presented one of my papers on one of the readings. One of the author's main points that I brought out was the dual nature of Paul. He was obviously very-well grounded in Judaism on one hand, but on the other was a part of the Greek-speaking Hellenistic culture of his day. He navigated the two worlds well, but was always torn between them. I could identify with Paul in that respect, just a little.

Without going into my life story, I'll just say that I've always found myself trying to fit. Trying to make myself at home in at least one of the worlds I claim to be a part of and that I've navigated here and there. But I'm coming to the realization that I can't force myself to be anything other than what I am, and that really, it's okay not to fit.

Spanish word/phrase of the day: todavía no (toh-dah-BEE-ah noh) = not yet
