Internship News

Well I know where I'll be on internship next year. Unfortunatley you'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday. The internship director wants us to wait until he has had a chance to let supervisors know who their intern will be so I can only tell my spouse, grrrr! Let's just say I'm very happy and excited and I can't wait to tell people.

11 Days!

I can't believe it's been 11 days since I blogged. Nothing much new has happened since I last blogged. I still don't know where I'm going on internship. I should find out today when I'll find out. Last weekend we had a school retreat that was great. We went up to north of Prince Albert, did you know that there are actually "forests" in Saskatchewan? We've hit the time of the year when spring is trying to poke through but winter keeps coming back for short bursts. The weekend was beautiful and a lot of the snow melted but then yesterday it snowed again and this mornign I woke up to snowfall again.
Preaching went well last week and I got lots of good feedback. Today I'm preaching again on the Palm Sunday text. School is flying by, so many papers, so little time! I will post some pictures from the retreat. Blessings to you all on your lenten journey!

March in Saskatoon

Well I haven't posted a real post since I was in Vancouver and so I thought I should post something. I had a fantastic time in Vancouver. Visited with lots of friends and had a wonderful time on the Sunshine Coast with Jason and Kat. Headed back to Saskatoon late Friday night, arriving at about 1AM Saturday morning. One of my suitcases arrived while my other one followed about 10 hours later, grrr. Saturday morning I unpacked, did laundry and repacked and headed out Saturday afternoon for Moose Jaw. The weather had warmed up and was actually above 0 and sunny. I drove down to Moose Jaw for a couple of day's to see my friend Elaine's covenanting service at the church where she is doing her internship. We had a lovely visit and I drove back Monday. Came back with a cold I've been fighting all week.
Back to school, 5 more weeks of classes. I really keep trying to have a positive attitude about this place and every time I do something else crappy happens, oh well, 5 weeks and I'm done with this place for a while. SO tired of the complaining, the cliquishness and the attitude of people at school. I have a ton to do in the next 5 weeks so I know they'll fly by. I'm preaching on Wednesday at Sherbrooke Community Centre ( a residential facility like no other!). Next weekend is our school retreat and so we head up to northern Saskatchewan which I'm looking forward to I haven't been north of Saskatoon and apparently it's totally different (still flat but different).
Enjoying spending time with the few friends I do have here and getting to know them better and having fun with them. I should know about internship placement in the next two weeks, so excited! The adventure continues!

Good News!

Well I'm back in Vancouver, enoying a very rainy reading week. It's been wonderful to be here and I'm enjoying visiting with family and friends. I head off in a few minutes for a overnight getaway to the Sunshine Coast with my friend Kat. Where we'll celebrate my getting into CPE in Vancouver for the summer, wahoo! I went to a meeting with the Vancouver supervisor this morning after having a phone interview last week. While waiting for the supervisor the secretary said "so you'll be joining us this summer" and I said "well I hope to" and she pulled my file and showed me a copy of the letter she had sent late last week offering me a place in the program. It must have arrived in Saskatoon the day I left or today. So I will be doing my CPE (clinical pastoral education) at St. Paul's hospital in Vancouver this summer. I'm so excited. So nice to know I'll be in Vancouver for one more summer, I love Vancouver in the summer. Also so nice to know that I where I'll be after May 1. I'll take some pictures while I'm away and post when I get back. Right now I'm sitting in downtown Vancouver at a Blenz (coffee shop) drinking a roiboos chai and using free wireless, watching the rain fall. I'm such a west coast girl!
