Back in the saddle

Although classes don't start until Thursday, all of the seminarians will be here tonight to start the year off with a day of recollection. Each year we have more and more of these days to help us remain focused spiritually and I feel like I always need something like this to settle me down from moving in and the like. There are many new faces here at the seminary and for a guy in Theology III it makes it hard to get to know them because we don't interact in any of our classes and they have been busy with orientation. Over time I hope to get to know them and spend some quality time with them. I am off to get some reading done because like you all know it doesn't get itself done.
