Good Day

Today was a much better day. It was also nice because we didn't have any recollections today so got to stay on campus all day. My morning was spent putting together a meditation for next week's recollections as well as a reflection for the Basic Education Department for there flag ceremony on Monday. I like to work ahead. Things were really busy in the Campus Ministry Office. We had excuse slips for those that went on the recollection's, which required us to fill in there names and the date. We are probably going to have the same thing happen tomorrow.

The afternoon was a little different though. Some of the guys from the other communities dropped by for a second, I got to meet the new postulant as well as the novice that left back in April, I am hoping he comes back. I also went and got my hair cut today, my first time here in the Philippines, I also got a little massage after. I just had my head shaved, nothing to spectacular. I am told I look more mature with my hair cut short.

After the haircutting expedition, Br. Poloy and I had fun taking pictures around the campus. It was fun. Went into some of my favorite offices to take pictures with some really great people. Gosh I love this place.

Tonight I played basketball and had to guard Br. Eli, realize Br. Eli is over 20 years older than me and shorter, plus he is delegate superior. We had a blast I just followed him and he tried to get away from me, but I stuck on him. It was fun. On a serious note though, I did have an interview with him afterwards regarding how things were going. It was a great meeting and I appreciated all the feedback he gave me as well as the support he gave me. Especially in trying to find the balance of being serious and yet enjoying myself. Trying to find the mean between two extremes.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. There is a blood drive tomorrow and I am giving blood as well as helping to serve food. We are also having a memorial/tribute Mass here to the little girl who died from dinghy. Originally her parents were going to come, but they have decided to back out because it would be too hard. It will be nice to see the school community remember one of there own.
