Its been a long week for me, even though we had Monday off. Everyday this week, I've had something to do in the afternoons that kept me from any free time until after dinner. Tuesday was a conference about the life of Cardinal Ritter, a former Archbishop of St Louis, Wednesday was a long class and spiritual direction right afterwards, today was my work study job - working in the bookstore, and tomorrow is meeting with my bishop, who is coming into town. In addition to all that, I was asked to be the seminarian in charge of the kitchen - the go-between between the kitchen staff and the seminarians. Its a busy position.
Tomorrow marks the end of my second week of classes. So far, classes haven't seemed to too bad. I'm currently taking Moral Theology, Anthropology Sin and Grace, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Literature, Pastoral Spanish, and an elective on the Letter to the Hebrews. The only thing that's really going to bog me down is the amount of reading that each class requires along side the other obligations of the seminary.
But, I still find time to relax when I can. My trusty PS2 helps me out. I did pick up a new game to keep things fresh and exciting from my current game library. This new game is pretty original. Its called Okami. Its hard to explain it, so if you're interested in it, check the website. I considered it worth renting at the minimum.
I'll try not to work too hard, or work too little. I can guarantee that things this year will be quite different than last year.
