Why am I taking the GRE, ye ask? Applying here: http://ace.nd.edu for their Teacher Formation Program. I beg ye, readers, (if there be any,) pray that they’ll accept me. I really don’t see any reason why they SHOULD, but as long as they don’t know that… =-p It’s not that I think I’d be bad for the program, just that there will likely be a few hundred students applying more qualified in just about every sense of the term than myself. I think the only thing I have going for me are USCCB guidelines that require Catholic schools to have religion teachers with some kind of Theology background (be it a major, minor, whatever.) I would say I have my Theology major going for me, but while my college has a good theology program, there’s nothing besides my own testimony to convince Notre Dame of that.

Goodness knows I’m not exactly some great theologian; I just want to teach the foundations of the faith to young children.  Baltimore Catechism and all that, the simpler stuff.

Been hunting for a Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite here at home, and no luck there.  Grrr… both here and where I go to school, all we have in the EF is the same Indult Masses we had pre-Summorum Pontificum.  At school, I don’t have a car, and here I have nowhere to drive it.  :p  One listing of TLMs listed a parish in the town my mother grew up in, not so far from here, but when I went to that parish’s website, the only non-English Mass I could find any indication of existence of was Spanish.

Oh wow it’s late/early…methinks going to sleep now would be a good idea…

God bless!
