2 Weeks to Go
Well folks, I find myself with a few minutes of free time today, a position that is uprising considering that finals will be in full swing in 2 weeks. Assignment wise, I have 3 papers left: one for theology (4 pages), one for Asian philosophies (3 pages), and one for Shakespeare (10 pages). Lets just say that I've been postponing the Shakespeare one for a few weeks, but I'm now down to about 10 days to get it done (so I really need to start it). Otherwise, there is a small assignment in Sociology, and a group project in Shakespeare and I think that is it before finals. Unfortunately, (in my opinion) all of my classes have finals. The one for ethics class will be take home (so, that is nice), but most are also cumulative, which I don't particularly enjoy. Don't feel too sorry for me, I'll make it through alright, but don't expect a ton of posts appearing (not only am I busy, but there isn't a ton of cool stuff happening around here - pretty much everybody is getting busy).
Yesterday's barbecue with the Serra club (a group that seeks to "foster and affirm vocations to the priesthood and vowed religious life") was a lot of fun. They attended Evening Prayer with us (and seemed quite proficient in saying it), and then provided a delicious dinner for us. We ate outside in the courtyard because it was such a beautiful day, and the addition of pulled pork (smoked and sauced) pretty much made my day. We threw a Frisbee around for a little while afterwards; it was just for fun, and helped work off the extra plate I ate. It was actually quite funny; we began playing monkey-in-the-middle with the Frisbee and I somehow ended up guarding Luke (trying to block his throws and/or intercept ones going to him). Well, lets just say that I am not the tallest guys at the seminary, and Luke is, so there was (quite literally) more than a foot difference in our height. Not only that, but his arm-span is tremendous. Needless to say, it was a bit comical, but we still managed to have a fun time.
Tonight we have a inter mural Frisbee game over at Marian, which should be quite competitive. So far the team I am on has barely lost both our games (within I believe 2 points each time). Anyway, we are hoping to win tonight...
On another note, our running training is starting to wind down. We ran 9 miles on Sunday, and we will probably run 3 or 4 miles for the 3 times this week. Next week we have one 8 miler, and then it's very easy with I believe a 2 mile run and some walking. I guess the theory is that we have peaked at 12 miles (so we can definitely do the 13.1 on the 4th), and now we are resting up for the race. Actually, we met with Fr. Rick Nagel (the pastor at St. John's downtown who is running the race for vocations that day) when we did the ceremony on Sunday at Brute thanking Arch-bishop Buechlein. He asked us to serve the Mass of the night before (which goes along with a pasta dinner for all the runners), which we, of course, agreed to do. It should be a lot of fun!
Well, that's all I have for right now. Sorry these last few posts have been so boring; I haven't managed to think of anything extraordinary, so I'm just trying to keep you up to date. Keep me in your prayers. The last few weeks are always the hardest. Have a fantastic day!
