This week was a nice week, minus the fact that I’ve been mildly sick all week.  My throat started hurting Tuesday evening at the vicarage placement service, of all places.  But that was a fun time!!  I was amazed at the number of guys going down south/out west.  No one is coming to Chicago, which is disappointing.  I was hoping someone would.  But Jon and Julie are going to Florida, as well as Kevin.  And Aaron and Mandy are going to Baton Rouge.  And Andrew and Heather are going to Oklahoma.  And Peter’s going to San Francisco.  And Josh is going to Wisconsin.  Haha.  We’ll probably have to visit some people next year.  We had great food that night.  And it was a great service…everyone was so nervous about getting placed, it actually transferred a bit to me.  I’m happy for them, and I trust them.

So I’ve been sick this week, which has sucked.  But I’ve been doing decently on papers.  My Early Church one is suffering, and that’s due on Tuesday, so I have two nights to whip that sucker into shape.  John Donne is practically DONE.  hahahaha.  Just have to wrap that one up nicely.  Then all I have to do till I leave are my liturgy test and my Reformation paper.  How pleasant.

Today was awesome.  Still sick, but absolutely gorgeous weather.  And it was Spring Spruce-up Selebration, which meant a day chock-full of eating, drinking and tidying.  The schedule was as follows:

9 am - coffee, crumpets and corona (corona’s are nasty, so I didn’t have one)

12 pm - soup, sandwiches and sangria (all were to my liking)

6pm - big barbeque with the NEW GRILL that we bought Westfield House.

And in between all that we were working hardcore outside.  I got to wear shorts and a t-shirt, it was awesome.  Julie and I weeded the side garden forever, and then we all moved onto the pond and took care of that.  Between the 20 of us, I think the place looks rather nice.  I hope Preceptor is pleased.

Andrew Yeager wanted to mow the lawn, and he did so with a cigar in his mouth and a suave safari hat on his head and a neckerchief.  Hilarious.

I have so much work to do tomorrow.  I hope I feel better.

Less than three weeks now…huh.
