Today our fridge is finally fixed (again). This time they replaced the motherboard (a known problem with the model).

Camille mentioned that it was like living having only manna for 5 days because we could not store things that needed to be kept cold. We could only gather/buy what we needed for that day. It got me wondering if in a Costco culture, do we really believe that God will meet our daily needs?

Note: The manna analogy seems to fail if you associate Ithaca with Egypt (though I felt a bit like I was in bondage there while a grad student). Are we wandering in the desert of Maryland right now? Where is the promised land?

From switching from the PhD to a Masters, being tasked with finishing a 2 year project in under 9 months, having conditions placed upon obtaining my actual degree, then waiting anxiously eight months for confirmation that I had satisfied those conditions.

Well, at 8:24pm on July 3rd, the graduate school was finally told that I had satisfied those conditions and that I could receive my degree. This saga seems to finally be almost over.
