Alright, Already

I know what you're thinking. "Hey, that blog by that seminarian...what ever happened to that?" I have to admit, I've been letting it slide. Now that it's slid virtually as far as I can fathom, however, I need to rope it back in and get it under control. That shouldn't be too difficult. Life at the seminary has a remarkable tendency to adhere to a certain status quo.

So, the rector went to and returned from Rome, where he spent a few weeks discussing ad nauseum Lord knows what minutia (and perhaps even a few important topics, too). His trip went well, and not much has really changed at the seminary while he was gone. There is, however, a wee spot of news that may be worth mentioning:

The Our Lady of Sorrows Province, the one based right here in Pennsylvania, is going to merge with the Guardian of the Redeemer Province, way out in California. Both links can be found in the sidebar. This will mean, when it has happened, a new sharing of administration, buildings, funds, and personnel. It should be interesting.

Other than that, school is going well, my brother is enjoying college life (though, he has disappointed me--his favorite class is a business course), and my sister is enjoying her last year of high school. Speaking of my sister, she has some interesting plans for the period following her graduation (that is, her life): She's applying for a job with the company (evidently, the company) that staffs the National Park Service, hoping to become a ranger in Alaska's own Denali National Park. I hope that works out for her.



Lastly, some readers seem to think that it's a "big deal" that I'm turning twenty-one in a few weeks...
