"pierre, you shouldnt have come"

I've decided that from now on my blog post titles will have as little to do with the blog post subject matter as possible.

in other news, today was an interesting (albeit long) day. I'm quickly learning the ropes at school, and these last days have left me feeling a lot more optomistic about my time to be spent here than I was before, due in large part to breaking the ice with most my professors and finally starting to build a small reputation and core of new friends.

the highlight of today was definitely attending the opening night of the on-campus bar at shms. big screen TV, free pizza and beer, and a pool table. cram about 80 seminarians in there and its a pretty cool spot. Mark and I played doubles at pool against some random folks, and I had a one-in-a-million trick jump shot that shot 2 feet across the table over 3 balls to perfectly nick my object ball into a corner pocket. I wowed the whole room. it was muy bueno.

tomorrow is the opening "Mass of the Holy Spirit", a really big deal at SHMS apparently ... and as metrosexual (or whatever) as it sounds, I'm really excited about being able to wear a 3-piece suit that I inherited from my grandfather for the first time, it's a thing a beauty, really. :)
