First Weekend & Evensong at King's


Today was pretty laid back and, well... kind of boring. I slept until 11:00, which was totally unintentional, but I guess I needed it. I was going to go for a run and even got dressed for it, but changed my mind because I felt so gross. I took a shower and got ready and went into the market/city centre.

Walked around some more down there... the same old track... really just waiting for it to be 3:00 so that I could go to Evensong at King's. It was wonderful. The organ in that facility is astounding--it really takes you back to Elizabethan times. (As if you can be "taken back" when you didn't live during that time?) I really just love looking at the architecture and the detail and thinking about how incredible it is even now... over 500 years later. The service itself was hard to follow and most of the time I had no clue what was happening. But then the boy's choir sang and everything was okay because it was so beautiful. The beauty of the place and experience can only remind you of God.




I've been pretty tired this whole weekend and I'm not sure why. It might be because of my diet--I started buying a lot of chocolate to fulfill my craving and have honestly been gorging myself on it the past three days or so. So I need to stop with that and get back on the healthy track--ya know, fruits and vegetables. We'll see how that goes.

This week begins my interviews. I can't believe I've been here for a week already. The time has flown and I'm honestly not really sad about that. I will love my time here and have already, but I'm a little home sick and definitely people-I-know-and-love sick.
