They spelled "Shepherd" wrong.
Shepard of the Sea......yeah....

On this huge banner that my Confirmation classmates made (please note, I was not a part of this project) there was, in big bold letters: "Shepard of the Sea."

Shepherd of the Sea is the Church that about half of our Confirmation class goes to. The banner had the names of our class on it, along with our Confirmation names. In big, bold letters were the names of our two churches: Sacred Heart and "Shepard of the Sea." u_u Silly people.

I was Confirmed tonight, just so you all know. I was anointed with holy chrism and I affirmed my baptismal vows. The priest laid his hands on me and I became a full member of the Catholic Church on earth.

Yay! ^__________^

My grandmother came, my great aunt came, my godparents were with me as I was anointed, and Victoria and Christina came to watch. There was a small reception afterwards, and enough flash photography to make me wish for epilepsy. (You see, if I had epilepsy, I could have a severe convulsive reaction to the flashes, which would cause most people to stop)

People came from all around and handed me cards saying congratulations and the like. I got a handful of kisses and a multitude of handshakes. Many of the cards held money in them, and I made just enough to pay off my debts. -_-;;

I owe my parents for helping me to buy my laptop, and for the ski trip. Something round $235, I think. I'm also babysitting this Saturday, so the money from that should definitely put me past the debt.

Christina and Victoria went out in a torrential downpour to get money from Christina's mom to put in my card, and they made a big deal about it, just to be sure that I appreciated it. Heh, I love those two. ^__^

I went to the doctor's office this afternoon to find out what to do about this cough that I have. I've had it for a little over a week, and it has become rather severe. I've been hacking up phlegm and assorted nasty things, so I decided a check-up was in order.

As it turns out, I have bronchitis. Or at least, that was the doctor's evaluation. She gave me a few pills to take and an inhaler. She prescribed me some medication for the inhaler, which I got this afternoon. Neither noticeably makes a difference in the cough. =/

I've been unable to determine when my actual join date was, because of the robots that guard the OB archives. Fearsome devils they are. *shakes fist at robots*

I don't have school tomorrow, which is a very welcome thing. It will give me a chance both to get some sleep, and to do some of the exorbitant amount of homework I received. Here's the list, at least from what I remember:

Theology II: Find an article that contains suffering, mount it on a piece of paper, and summarize it.

Photography: Another essay about ethics. Woopedy-freaking-doo...

Algebra II: I missed several days of this class, and I've already surpassed everyone. I have a test on Thursday and an assignment to make-up by then.

Honors English II:Test on "The Tempest" on Thursday, and a major paper due on May 25th.

Honors U.S. History: Test to make up, which I'm taking on Thursday. A paper to write, due Friday, and a vocabulary assignment due Monday.

I'm sure there's more than that. :p

And then I still haven't seen The Passion of the Christ yet. Now more than ever I want to go and see it. Last week, a priest handed me a twenty dollar bill and told me to go and see the movie. I was shocked.

I had told him that I hadn't seen the movie because I didn't really have money to spend on movies, and so he turns around and hands me the money, and refuses to take it back when I offer it to him. So, I feel rather obligated.

Oy. I'm tired. I nearly fell asleep in several of my classes today. Perhaps I should get some sleep; enjoy my ability to sleep in. ^__^

There be workin' to do on the morrow...
