I know I've done this a couple of times before but this time I promise to try and keep updating my blog regularly. I might even be so organised as to set an alarm on my phone or something.
So today is actually my favourite day of the year, so what better day than to begin a new series of blogs? The reason that today is my favourite day of the year is because September is my favourite month. It means new diaries, stationary, lists, timetables, equipment- it means going back to school! I always loved school, so much so that I really thought that I would become a teacher because what better career is there for somebody who loves to learn? However, God had other plans which is what these blogs are going to be about. Also, 1st September is the day that the Hogwarts Express leaves Kings Cross Station at 11 o'clock so what's not to love?'
Anyway, I am an ordinand. This is church talk for 'someone who has been recommended to train to be a vicar'. They are sending me to 'Vicar School'. I will be there for 2 years before there is a big service in the Cathedral and they put a dog collar around my neck. This is if it all goes well. Like when going from GCSEs to Sixth Form of College, you need to get the grades before you can go. I need to do well for 2 years before I wear a dog collar.
This is another reason why I'm particularly excited today... At the end of the month I'm going back to school! Well, Vicar School. Still, as with all things school this means new books, sticky notes, highlighters, diaries, pens, note books, (the list really could go on forever!). I'm moving to the beautiful city of Durham and I get to live in halls, which I never did when I was at normal Uni! It's all very exciting! Actually, that's a lie. I'm definitely a bit scared too!
Anyway, welcome to my new blog! If you want to read about what kind of things I'm getting up to as an ordinand then please pop back occasionally to have a read!
Much love x
