My first day as an oblate postulant! What to say? There was a lot of activity on moving day, but that was all over as soon as everyone had hauled their three suitcases up the stairs.... so, I had some time to call family members while unpacking.
But there were many other things to do besides rearrange clothes in the closet, and multitasking ended there. Sundays are usually relatively free, but besides community prayer/ meals/ recreation, orientation activities started as well. I have also figured out that there is more than arithmetic of time involved in figuring out how to stay in touch with everyone; community recreation usually ends ~ 8 pm and the Great Silence starts at 9 pm, thus the blog.
Some documentary footage of the new crib:
My makeshift desk. Everything in this wing was recently remodeled and some of the new furniture has yet to arrive (in case you think it's spare even for a cell, I will be getting a desk and shelf).
The amazing all-in-one closet/bureau/library
It wouldn't be a cell without a sink!
Something to console me for probably not catching many games this fall.
My room overlooks the courtyard. It is below street level and has a fountain, so it is a very quiet and relaxing environment in the midst of a very busy part of the city.
The library: only two floors above me and 24/7 access. And you thought the sink was exciting!
Studying up for class!
Nathan ~ It's wonderful to see your personal touches in your new living quarters! I'm glad you started a blog so that we can hear all about your new life. Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! I will do my best to keep it updated regularly.
DeleteI am excited to continue reading this blog, though I demand a new font be employed. Almost any other font will do. Can't wait for the adventures to come!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's about time to publish your comment after two months. I saw it by email, but Blogger marked it as spam and I only just found it on the dashboard.
