Dominican Distractions

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Posts two weeks in a row! It’s a rare occurrence. Today I stumbled across a Saint Dominic Crossword Puzzle. Credit is due, of course, to the Mission San Jose Dominicans. Of note, also, is that among the new additions to our faculty this year is a MSJ Dominican, Sr. Colleen Mary Mallon, OP.

So much to share! Where to begin?

CPE has ended… my two weeks of summer flew by (which I spent sleeping in, seeing my friend Jackie get married, and watching season 2 of Heroes)… and now here I am nearly two weeks into my last (!) semester! There are so many new things to share, I just don’t know where to begin.

This week I began working at Aquinas (again). A change in plans led me back to working in the Admissions office. Having been my home-away-from-home the past two years, I’m excited to work with Jen and Dave in the office. Heck, the more I get to talk about Aquinas the happier I am!

Newly added to my plate this semester is my third semester of SPM (Supervised Practice of Ministry- aka “Field Ed”) and my time (8-10 hrs/wk) at Sacred Heart Villa. I’ll be working with five classes of children, ages 3-6, in the atrium. I’m so excited to gain more experience in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Although, I must admit it’s a bit scary to entertain the idea of working with such young children after being with 9-12 year old the past few years!

Well, that gets me started for now… more on my classes in an upcoming post! Happy New Semester!
