J.M.J.A.T.K.G
Okay. Someone shared my blog on facebook and now I feel compelled to give an update.
So. Updates.
I'm in the application process with 'my nuns'. You would think that this would provide a plethora of awkward situations to write about but...
Nope.
Now, that doesn't mean I haven't had my fair share of freakouts. One night, while having a few beers with friends I convinced myself (very loudly) that I was not going to pass the psych exam.
One of friends, being a candidate with my nuns, describe many of the tests I would go through.
It still took them an hour to calm me down.
A part of the application is to answer a few reflections questions. The vocation Director said that this would be a great opportunity to learn about myself. I thought this part would be the biggest pain in the butt to finish but this is actually my favorite part. The Vocation Director was right, I'm learning a lot about myself. (Please don't tell her I said that.)
A pro-tip for any of you nun-to-be's: go to Panera, pop in the headphones and listen to Amy Grant radio on Pandora. There is no way the Holy Spirit will be absent for that.
Being in the application stage is a big step in the discernment process. But there's still a lot more discerning and praying to do. Really, we don't ever stop discerning. Ever.
Another update: I got a BIG GIRL JOB and will be MOVING INTO A CONVENT. The great thing about this convent is that I've stayed there when I came for visits. The nuns are great and easy to be around. I know I'll fit in really well.
And they're Downton Abbey fans.
As for the Big Girl Job...I will be working for and with a few of my nuns.
I will be surrounded by nuns 24/7.
That's it for the updates. I will *try* to post here a least once a month. For smaller, snarkier musing check out my tumblr page and follow me on twitter.
There's a possibility that I'm addicted to social media.

Being surrounded by nuns 24/7 is great. YEA! on the big-girl job and the application process. Although, I'm still a fan of listening to Michael Jackson while writing the autobiography portion. ;)
