What is She Thinking?

Behind the Scenes of a Theologeek's Life

What is She Thinking?
Ana Plumlee

Many walk by me throughout the day and wonder what is going through my head, especially those people who know that I am a Theology major. There are actually only two of us that I know about here at NDC who are majoring in the subject, and I am the only one who lives on campus, so a lot of the time, I'm separated from the campus community as a whole in a way. So, if you've every wondered what's going through my head...you're about to find out.

Thoughts during class:

1. I have no clue what this professor is talking about...I think I'll google this topic later so I understand it better.

2. Seriously? We're going over what Theology is again?

3. Why do I have to take this class? This has nothing to do with my major.

4. If the professor calls on me I might give an answer that's too theologically dense.

5. Ugh, all of the heresy.

6.Wait, this is an English class? I though that gerunds were some kind of heresy!

7. I should totally live tweet this class one day.

Thoughts when doing homework:

1. I've written five drafts of this research paper. I think I'm good and there's no heresy in it.

2. I don't think I can stand much more of this theological text.

3 .Formatting this paper is a pain in the neck. It's a paper. Why does it have to be more difficult that it already is?

4. What should I use to make this paper longer? One word: footnotes.

5. One corgi video won't hurt...

6. Crap, I've been watching corgi videos for 4 hours and the paper's due tomorrow morning.

7. I need a Monster to get through the night/today...

Thoughts in my free time:

1. What is free time?

2. What does it mean to be free?

3. How did I get here?

4. What's good on Netflix?

5. Would my friends be able to hang out with me now?

6. Oh, friends...I don't have many of those...

7. Oh my gosh...my professor just asked me to edit something for him.

Thoughts when I'm ready to sleep:

1. What's the hypostatic union again?

2. Why are we alive? Did God create me for a purpose?

3. I really should finish reading that encyclical.

4. Just a few more pages.

5. I need to email that professor.

6. Do I have a paper due tomorrow?

7. Dear Lord, let me sleep.


Those are just a few things I'm thinking. If you want to know what's behind this sometimes stoic face, just ask! Trust me, I'm nicer than my walking to class face implies.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
