"City girls are just country girls-- with cuter outfits!" ~SATC

Now that my second year of seminary is done, it's time to start looking ahead to my internship year, which is starting this summer. I've lived in Philly for 4 years now, and I'm a little nervous about moving to rural Nebraska after being a "city girl" for so long.

Maybe they'll let me drive a tractor again. That could be cool.

I'm hoping that the culture shock won't be too bad-- although it's hard to believe that it won't be substantial considering I'm going from a Northeast city to the rural Midwest. But I am looking forward to experiencing things that I never have before, like the joys of a Midwestern Lutheran potluck, mud races, Native American pow-wows, cows (up close and personal!), and the harvest time.

I'm both nervous and excited at the same time.

...Well, at least I'll get to experience first-hand some of the farming/harvest metaphors Jesus used in his parables!! :)
