hello, and welcome to another edition of late night chats with denise. yesterday (thursday) i received some bad news (according to a few) and some good news. the bad news - i did not get accepted into Capital University Law School. yes, i'm sad about it. i've been dreaming about becoming another matlock since i was just a kid. seriously.... on the upside, though, not going to law school gives me freedom to do things that i think god wants me to do. that is, i can become more active with my church and with the twenty-something generation of my community. i know i'm about to become a member of the thirty-somethings, but, i think god has something in store for me with this younger crowd. not sure what exactly, but something is there! also, as most of you know, i'm a philosopher by nature. my favorite question is "why?" mix this with a love for knowledge and a desire to defend god, i would love to pursue a master's degree of theology. in not going to law school, i may have this chance. i'm currently attempting to apply to several online programs in hopes to get in and begin this phase of schooling. please keep me in prayer as i have no idea what's going to happen!
now the good news. yesterday i attended the annual philosophy department award dinner. i knew beforehand that i was one of the graduating seniors to receive a "special book award." we received a program, and my name, of course, was listed under the heading of those to receive the book award. i was one of many. however, there were other awards to be given out that night that i was unaware of as were my fellow classmates. these surprise awards come not only with certificates of recognition and a small pin, but with cash ranging in the amount of $300 to $1000! as the smaller awards were being handed out, i knew for certain that i was not going to receive one of these special awards as i knew that those who received the smaller ones were more deserving than i. yet, as the last award for the undergraduate students was given out for "most outstanding graduating senior," i hear my name being called. that's right, i was honored yesterday by being deemed "most outstanding graduating senior" of the philosophy department and was awarded a cash prize of $1000!!
wow, what a day!
