A. Worked my first double ever. It sucked. Not during so much, but definitely after. Plus I had to be back in for 7:30 the next morning. It might have been ok without that. I don’t think I’ll be trying those again for a while. The payout better be good.

B. We had one of our community get baptized at a local lake. Here’s some math: 40some children + belonging to 9 adults + big park + water = stress! I always throw out “40some” children, I am not sure about exact numbers, but it does feel like there is at least that many. It was cool, but you feel like you are patrolling for potential disaster until you pack up to leave.

C. Went to a friends wedding yesterday (which was very nice) and put on my one and only wedding ensemble. I think marriage and weddings are fine, but when I listen to what is being said during most ceremonies, I get the feeling that we attribute a lot of what might be tradition to God and scripture. I am not 100% on this, but I am going to look into it. When people do this with anything, or read too much into it, or put “words into the mouth” of Jesus/ God it annoys me.

D. I think a Pybus child stayed with us this weekend. I am pretty sure she was here anyway.

E. I got my marks back for my state exam and we passed it with distinction (which sounds all grand and impressive, but what it really means is that I got 83% or above). That is now done and behind me. On with my clinical assesments (which are a lot of fun!)

Nine weeks.

On a side note, when I got my pictures developed, I asked the guy if I could buy some black & white film. I couldn’t because he didn’t have any. He then informed me that it doesn’t matter what type of film you use because it all gets put through the digital processor and he could make some black and white for me. Unfortunately his “auto” settings washed out all my shots a bit. The scans were much better. So I probably won’t be going back to him and his miracle processing techniques.
