Update. Vocation

Hi!
Well the meeting with my spiritual director was
ace! Was really useful. Br. John Paul also
gave me some brochures and a couple of phone numbers
for some convents that he recommended to start with.

Though I won't be able to think about joining a
community for a few years, he agreed that
looking around would be a cool thing to do. I
thought that seeing as I have a few months before
continuing study, I can check some out.

So today, I phoned up the Tyburn Convent, a Benedictine one in London.
I'll be visiting on a weekend (13th-15th of Oct).
The Sister that answered the phone was lovely.
By accident, I had her laughing almost in stitches
(I said I was looking at communities to see what I
liked and didn't like. Well, she said, it's more
a matter of where God's calling you lol. I said
well I'm checking out my desires. She laughed even
more. She said no, it's what God's saying :-). He
he anyway I agreed. I'm glad I brightened up
someone's day). The Mother was also nice. They
seemed quite laid back actually.

Whilst I'm excited about this I'm
also a bit nervous. I've never done
anything like this before.

Hmmm I'm looking forward to the next Vocations
meeting. Got the e-mail update.

Erm, also looking forward to the youth2000
retreat at the end of oct.

Oh yeah, on my way out of the Friary (after
meeting with Br.JP) I had a voice message from
Demon recruitment. They had seen my CV on
Monster.co.uk and said they have a vaccancy
that I might be interested in which is cool.
Tried to ring back but the woman that called
wasn't at her desk. Will call on Mon.

Funny, 'Demon recruitment' :-p.

Update

Well the reason why I don't write here
often is that I know I usually write a
lot :-p

My life is good, the wider family could be
better. Some are facing challenges. One
of my brothers is doing well at uni for
the 2 days he's been there. He seems
organised and appears to have everything
under control. He's had a good start and
already seems to get on well with one of
his housemates known to us as 'the Belgian
guy'.

I'm currently listening to Bjork and for
the record my fave colour is yellow, not
National Trust creme that I put on a quiz
by mistake lol.

Spiritual life is good and the studying's
not too bad. Also visiting my grandparents
this week. Went to see one gran this morning
with my mum. Was okay. Mum asked me something
about catholicism. Answered and I think we
both learn't something.

This second feeling a tad tired so parts
of this post are a bit cryptic. Oh yeah I
forgot about 'power naps'. I know you're
reading this bro Robbi.

Hmmm... I think I might do that now, though
it is a bit late.
