You know you're in the right program when the first day of classes feels like Christmas morning.
Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009
As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:
When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.
When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.
When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.
When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"
Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.
Amen.

"You got the updated DSM IV! I was SOOO hoping to get that for Christmas but no luck! And all the after-Christmas sale copies were all gone when I finally made it to a Barnes & Noble! Awww phooey. Hate it when I don't beat the crowds. Maybe next year! I hope you enjoy it, I heard there are some great new entrieeeeesss!!"
- thing a jealous weirdo might say
I want all of those books. Well, I already have three of them, but the others... :)
Also, I'm a big fan of your organized-by-book-binding-color bookshelves. Way to go!
Kind of funny because in medical school we talk about DSM-IV too, but we don't get all the other fun books as well :(
