Working arrangement.

Today I met with my course director and rector. We had a really good chat and it turned out that there are more than me struggling with the work load of this course. It was reassuring to hear, as I had been thinking over the last weekend, as I was trying to make sense of all the reading I've done, that I might have bitten off more than i can chew... In the induction, they said the course is designed to be manageable for people who work full time... I'm not sure it's manageable if you work full time *and* have two children :-( It was reassuring to know that the diocese had not envisaged it being this heavy, and that future modules should not be so. But I just have to get through this one... I am determined and I have always worked well to deadlines so i will just plough on... I submitted my draft and received good, constructive feedback, although I am very confused about all these other exegetical methods out there as I can't seem to identify them! Apparently I will go "on placement" over Easter! This came as a bit of a shock... What about the holy week prayer mosaic?! What about the Good Friday family event and lunch?! My Rector says it is time to prepare emotionally and spiritually that I will not spend Easter in our church this year... On a slightly different, but very hopeful note, I also had a really positive visit to a prospective new job... It would allow me a day and a half a week to myself again, and involve far fewer hours driving to and from work.
