grad school thoughts
Spoke with my advisor today, and the PhD program at BU is being crossed off the list. Right now, BC's combined MSW/MA in Pastoral Ministry is leading the list, with other Boston programs on it's heels. The non-Boston programs under consideration - MSW programs at Smith, Univ. Washington, Univ. of Maryland, Univ. of Michigan. Penn is also in the running, but it's pricey.
Much other personal stuff came out of meeting with advisor as well. That's because he bounces between spiritual advisor and academic advisor often and with ease.
Also met with my former supervisor at Suffolk University about opportunities for programming & lecturing there this schoolyear (for which I get paid extra!).
Imminent on the to-do list - narrow down mdiv thesis topic from 'the theological issue of gender in early christianity' to something more narrow. possibly focusing on androgyny and genderless ideal. we'll see. need either a time period or authors or type of source or something. Other thoughts are iconography and/or gender bending in hagiography.
Tonight: I bake a cake for our chaplain. I was challenged to bake an 'orange(flavoured) cake'. Am debating between orange rum cake & orange filled cake.
