essays are fun!

so i'm going to start my seminary applications this weekend. spend some quality time doing laundry, filling in info, and brainstorming my essays. it's like my friend matt said, they all want a 5 page version of your life, but they all want it just a little bit different. so you can't just copy and paste a thing, you just have to write a new paper for each app. wahoooo! i knew i got that english minor for something :O)

here's one application's directions:
In a separate statement, recount briefly (3 – 5 double-spaced pages) your
a. family and education.
b. decision to prepare for leadership in the church.
c. special interest in a particular area of ministry.
d extracurricular activities during college or community activities.
e. participation in church or other religious work, noting particularly positions of leadership you have held.
f. reasons for seeking admission to Columbia Theological Seminary

oy. not excited. and i'm going to apply i think to 4 schools, so i have 4 slightly different versions of that. wahooooooooooooooooooooo!!

happy friday!
hugs,r
