I guess the theme for this semester is "uncertainty." We don't know where we'll be going, we don't know exactly what we'll be doing, and we don't know exactly how we're going to handle the transition to being the preacher and preacher's wife. I guess this sort of uncertainty is just part of the process of moving into the "adult world," but it's still kind of scary. From what I've heard, there'll be three "rounds of appointments" in mid-March, early April, and late April. In each of these, I'll get an idea as to one possibility of a place that I could go. It could be the same place through all three rounds, or it could be a different one all three times. I'm kind of looking forward just to get some idea, since then I'll at least have something to focus on. It's just kind of hard knowing that things are completely out of my hands.
What I should focus on is my thesis, which is due to Dr. Runyon and Dr. Erskine a week from today. I've currently got 37 pages, and it's got to be at least 50. I've got a lot of information, but I need to shape it into an actual argument. Hopefully, I'll be able to pull that off in time to not be too stressed out.

What's the thesis?

The thesis focuses on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's intermingling of ecclesiology and Christology in Sanctorum Communio and Life Together. The basic argument is that Life Together is important for understanding the way that Bonhoeffer stuck with ecclesiology and made it more practical throughout his career, rather than simply abandoning it in favor of "religionless Christianity." That would be the brief summary, but I tend to change the entire point of papers and sermons at the last minute, so you never know what I'll be arguing by Wednesday.
