So the city choir has already started on Christmas music, because if we start after our first concert we won't have time to get it all practiced, and Z has found some really lovely Polish carols, and as we're singing one of them, I'm goin', "I know this one."  The start and the end of the melody sounded suspiciously like "Infant Holy, Infant Lowly ( Read more... )

A friend I have been discussing religion and philosophy, and in the course of it the idea came up that Christianity is a demanding religion, and who would want to worship and devote themselves to a god who is always telling us what to do ( Read more... )

So at the singles Bible study on Monday, we're going to be studying I & II Timothy, and apparently at some point we will be discussing whether or not a person can lose their salvation.  ( Let the arguing commence! )

Z thinks I ought to go to Australia with the university choir.  (He likes rounding up alumni for international tours.)  He's like, "You're a working girl.  You can afford it."  Right.  With loans due and grad school and the rest of it.  It'd be fun, it really would.  If I weren't paying for my grad classes, I might.  But... yeah ( Read more... )

But Z keeps insisting I should go, and do you know how very hard it is to say no to Z? He stands there, all tall and polite, and looks at you with those odd ( Read more... )

Z is my advisor, right? So before Chorale, I tell him all about the difficulties with my graduation requirements, how stuff isn't lining up, and the registrar isn't accepting my last few credits ( Read more... )

So now I'm sending off emails to some of my teachers so that they can write recommendations for my credentials file. This file is a dossier that will follow me for the rest of my life, filled with test scores and grades and transcripts and reports, and most importantly, a series of recommendations which I WILL NEVER SEE. That's right. It's a ( Read more... )
