playoffs and the rest

So, one NHL playoff series is over, as the Pens swept the Sens. I would've sort have liked to see the Sens win at least one, for the sake of Antoine Vermette ... but ah well. The Sens really seemed to be missing Fisher, and the return of Alfie didn't really spark them. I'm pretty sure the Pens and Habs (Price (sporting his new mohawk, courtesy of Latendresse) has been stellar) will be playing in the Eastern Conference final, which will be great to see, should it happen! I'm hoping that the Avs or Sharks will make it through in the West.

Playoffs means the end of university terms, and right now many of the people I know are wrapped up in studying and take-homes, and I'm just trying to be a source of encouragement and peace for them, as I have totally finished my course work, which is pretty sweet. If you are someone feeling worn down or spent, regardless of the reason, read this and hope:

"When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun"

So, what's left? Well, I have my project to gets some serious work done on and finish, yes, still. Nothing else too exciting going on, although a lot remains up in the air for me. Where will I be in the fall? I'm thinking one of Victoria, Ottawa, or Vermont. But I shall keep praying, and wait and see. There were 5 spiders in our bathroom this morning. I think when I get home I'll put 4 of them in a jar together and see what happens. Don't worry, if it starts coming to eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an ... okay okay, bad ummm ... well, I don't even think that could be called a joke. Maybe a groaner. But yeah, I actually plan just to relocate them. I'm pretty sure our bathroom isn't really well-suited to their lifestyle.

Here I am ...

The morning after the Leafs suffered yet ANOTHER terrible (albeit meaningless) loss to the Senators (at least I wasn’t at this game) … and it is the last day of classes - for this year, and likely for my life. I actually had my last class yesterday, but whatever. :) So, what am I going to do with the rest of my life, now that I (well, almost) have 2 degrees? Same thing I’ve been doing all along: waiting on and trusting in God to guide me where he wants me. Sounds like a solid plan to me! I have applied to a few places, both for the summer and for the fall, and am still waiting to hear from anywhere. I really would love to get the job at Putney School in Vermont …

The rest of March was pretty busy although enjoyable, but I can’t believe my time here in Victoria is veritably at an end. Unless I am here next fall, which really, I have to admit, wouldn’t be all that bad. However, it would just be for a year, as I definitely am not that fond of being this far from my family. And I don’t really have any other news to share, except that Starfield is awesome and I’m excited about seeing them in a few weeks. And it’s not long after that that I head to Mexico with U.C.M!

Sucks to hockey: The Oilers and the Canucks (as of last night) are now both out of playoff contention. Guess they can join the Leafs on the golf course. Some consolation prize.

Ah well, “the road goes ever on and on” …
