Late night rambling

I have yet to even hint to anyone that I have started a blog. Maybe in a couple weeks I will, when I actually have something to say.

I applied for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps this past week. I keep going over all that I wrote and filled out on my application, and I am not content with what I submitted. I want to look like THE ideal applicant. I also want to be totally honest. I hope I found a way to achieve both.

Last Wednesday marked the beginning of the Lenten season. Being Catholic, I should have gone to mass and received ash on my forehead. That was the day I spent finishing essays for my application. How ironic that I didn't go to church because I was working on an application for a position that would give me the opportunity to live the Gospel through volunteering next year. Life is funny that way I guess. I should think of something to sacrifice for Lent. I have not found something that was adequate to sacrifice for the past two years. One Lent I gave up meat. My Dad served a roast on Easter, my stomach was not at all happy with me. This year I want to do something that will really set the tone for Easter. I should have started thinking about this a week ago. Maybe I should give up forgetting things. If I can remember to do it.
