Church.



Last Sabbath I went to the Sahmyook University church. I am glad that many people have returned from vacation. A supreme court justice from Uganda was there. He gave the sermon. Later I had dinner at Peter and Wendy's place along with Gary, Jenny, Paul, and John. It was nice. I went to vespers the night before and Gary said that the crowd needs to get to know me better as well as James, a Kiwi teacher that was there. He said that we should do vespers sometime. I will be doing it on March 6.
I went to the Ilsan SDA church the week before to meet my friend Cornelius. He fixed my computer's microphone for me. I met some friends of his named Brian and Maike. They are also from South Africa like he is. They were very nice. Brian offered to take me sightseeing, so Cornelius and I went with him to Paju. Paju is a town that's very close to North Korea. We also went to an artist's village. It was fun. Too bad it was a bit foggy. He said we should go back there when the weather is nicer. It's always nice to make new friends. I would like to go back to the Ilsan church, but it's far away so I'll only go if I get invited.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
