The Effects of PhD Applications on Blogging

…is that blogging starts drying up.

Sorry folks, but the application process is taking up a huge chunk of the time I don’t spend at my job or at church or at events.  I don’t have as much free time right now. 

And it’s stressful. It’s a big project.  Each school has different expectations and different ways of doing things that need to be interpreted.

Last Advent was a really rich spiritual time for me and now this year it’s the polar opposite.  I can’t focus on the season of expectation when I have so much expected of me right now.  Personal statements…esssays…writing samples…letters of recommendation….it’s all tedious and time consuming.

So forgive me, next week I might be able to write more.
