Hey folks,
So the past few weeks have been fairly quiet here.
Last Saturday, I went with the folks from St. Matthew's to the Ordination of my friend Pat Gotattus. (I probably spelled that wrong...) Anyway, it was an awesome day, pretty exhausting but lots of fun. The car trip was entertaining to say the least. :) I rode to and from Columbia with my friend Michelle and her two boys Hank and William. It was a good thing I had Angry Birds on my ipod or I think someone may have self-destructed, lol. Probably not, but hey it gave them something to do.
The service was awesome! All of the pomp and circumstance that originally attracted me to the Episcopal church plus more! I'd never smelled incense before. I'm glad I did because judging from photos and videos I've seen on the monastery, incense is a rather common thing, particularly at the eucharist (communion).
Speaking of the monastery, I got another email from the intern's director. I now know the names of the other interns. I tried looking them up on facebook but some of them have very popular names so since mine is rather unique, I'll let them find me. The great part is that I'm not going to be the only girl! I don't know why that made me so happy but to know that there's someone who goes through some of the same things as I do is nice. It turns out there are going to be two other girls, they actually split the interns half and half. Cassandra and Tedi are going to be the interns at Emmory House, and Rob, Alexis, Tyler and I are going to be the interns at the monastery. In the email we got, Mark said that we're going to all be at the monastery in Cambridge for a few days of orientation and adjusting, then we're all going to go to Emmory House for a day or possibly more, I don't remember, but Tedi and Cassandra are going to stay there.
Something else that is interesting, Mark said that "if we happened to have a black cassok that fits us we may want to bring it" otherwise they have some we can wear. I donno, I kind of found it funny, why would we have a black cassok? lol.
So anyways, on top of that, I decided that I need money, that being said I called the movie theater this morning and pending approval from the General Manager, who is not the same person as it was when i was there, I may find myself working at the movie theater once more. It's not what I want to do but I figure, I need the money, I'm going to keep some of it for myself and give the rest to my parents, they feed me after-all, for free. I probably won't be able to work much because of social security and such, but getting paid will be nice. Money for flight and hopefully getting myself an ipad.
I've played with a friend's kindle and it works... but for me, it seems a bit impractical. I need the words to be so big that there's only like three or four words on the screen at a time. I figure with the ipad, I'll have a bigger space to work with.
I've also got an eye doctor's appointment on the 14th and I want to talk about the possibility of glasses. It'd be nice for things to not have to be 32 font and my not having to squint so much.
So, other than that, there's not much happening here.
Hugs to you all!
Nancy
