Getting in game!

Well, I still don't have the cookout pictures. I'll hopefully be able to get them up tomorrow, if I can get MW and Rufina to the Student Center at the same time as MacAlister and me... My jumpdrive seems to be missing. This is truly most annoying. I've decided not to move in to with the CC Girls until Wednesday- basically until HK comes back to room with K-ski. Then I'll no longer have a place to sleep. Two things have decided this for me. One, St. T's has a landline, which I will need for my phone interview with the family in Colorado. That's tomorrow between 4-5, so if my readers (all two- three? four?- of you) are so inclined, please pray extra hard then!:)

Speaking of praying extra hard- this morning I woke up to a phone call from the adoration coordinator who kindly reminded me that I'd agreed to adoration today at 11 AM, I was just fervently grateful I hadn't agreed to 8AM, because I'd completely forgotten I'd signed up for it at all... Did I ever feel stupid... I'd signed up for it because I thought I'd be living with the CC Girls by now, but I'm not yet. I need to call them and tell them it'll be Wednesday, because I really feel bad that I haven't moved in by now.

Two reasons- right, the one I mentioned earlier was the landline. The other is the rather spontaneous SW RPG we've finally started up. We had our first session today and I think it went rather well. No one fell asleep or poked gigantic holes in the plot, so I was pleased. It entertained me too, although I still infinitely prefer being a player than Games-Mistress. So we had this session today, we'll have one tomorrow and maybe one Wednesday night if JC will drive me home afterwards and the CC Girls don't mind me coming home 'late'. 

What else? I talked to JPost today (I think I gave her a different designator earlier) and she told me that TBro is meeting with a recruiter tomorrow about joining the Air Guard. She's really pushing for me to just get it over with and join the AF, have some direction in life. Direction would be nice. And PeaceCorps makes you wait between 6mons. and a year to process your application with no guarantee that you'll get to do what you want to do.

Why doesn't anyone just get it that I want to start teaching this fall? I know you can't always do what you want, but I still think that this is one of those happy coincidences where what I want is also what God wants for me. I hope. I guess I'll find out. I prayed for a lot of things today in the adoration chapel during my Holy Hour. One of them was that I'd have a better sense of gratitude when things work out smoothly. I definitely think that if nothing else, coming out of this experience as a whole, I ought to have that. This is a great opportunity for me to grow.

So why does it seem like I'm doing a lot of whinging about everything?

I guess it's growing pains. I don't remember them very much, but I do remember the first time I 'clicked' my knee. It really hurt! But it's just part of getting older. So is out-growing one's favourite shirts and trousers- that I really do remember. It occasioned a yardsale.

Speaking of yardsales, I have a fair amount of work to do on that. I think I'll head home this Saturday, unless I've managed to land a job between now and then that requires Saturday work. I'm still out of work. That's depressing. At least I have good food for now, TBro's stockpile of soup has definitely come in handy, as have JPost's odds and ends.

So like I said earlier, I'll try to post pictures soon. B, I have some very amusing ones of your former roomies! J-chan, MW managed to get a few amusing ones of me. Anyone else reading this- I don't know what you'll make of the craziness but I hope you'll enjoy it!
