Done
Well almost. I finished my last college paper tonight and my last assignment for my theology major. It feels strange and it has yet to completely sink in. Perhaps graduation will remedy this but I doubt it. I am going to miss the School of Theology but this just gives me the motivation to get an M.Div and Ph.D. so that I can eventually become one of them.

The End of the Day
A perfect poem to read after drinking wine with friends at the close of the night.
The End of the Day
Under a sallow light
Runs insolent, shrieking Life,
Dancing and twisting capriciously.
Then, as soon as sensual night
Climbs the horizon
Hushing all, even hunger,
Effacng all, even shame,
The Poet says to himself: "At last
My spirit like my bones
Pleads dearly for repose;
My heart is full of melancholy dreams,
And I go and lie on my back
Coiling myself in your curtains,
O restoring darkness!"
Charles Baudelaire
