Life is fun

I've had the kind of week that reminds me why I love my job: students of one sort or another coming out of the woodwork, from visiting American urban ministry people to PhD candidates, Methodist vocational students and new undergrads. I ended up writing my ecclesiology lecture (L1) late the night before, and the session buzzed so I left work yesterday evening late but on quite a high.

I've booked my ticket to London for a report launch: £8 return on a coach. Compared to £60+ on the train, it's a steal. And I booked in for the SST conference yesterday as well, the first time I've done a conference sponsored by my employer. I've yet to write my NoATE paper, but it will be done by the end of the week - I know exactly what I'm going to say, it's just a case of putting it on paper and assembling the Powerpoint slides.

But I do need to do some serious writing. If I can finish off this term's lectures now, I could start putting together a proposal for publishing my thesis - or at least a *very* revised version thereof. My emails to the editor who asked about it before are bouncing, so I don't set too much store by her, but I do have contacts through a colleague with other editors who may be very interested.
