Mary Magdalene Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 [quote name='FutureNunJMJ' timestamp='1300987293' post='2222972'] +JMJ Hmmm... I thought I had made a reply in this thread, but I guess not. I'm not sure what I would want to do... there is nothing that really comes to mind, although I do want to make a trip with my sister (mostly because she really wants to) and I've thought of getting a tattoo (something small and inconspicuous) of a crucifix over my heart... but I don't know if I would. [/quote] My Religious Life Bucket List before entering this year.... Get a tattoo- got that a few weeks ago (cross on my right shoulder blade) Family holiday social drinks with friends Go visit the west coast of the US Be as lazy as possible at home Go back to London Camping trip Go to the Beach as much as possible I'm sure I can think of more just not ATM

franciscanheart Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1301024909' post='2223117'] I know. I really think that jaguars are just stocky leopards. The resemblance between the two makes them difficult for most people to tell them apart in pictures. The way I remember is that a jaguar's head looks a lot like a rottweiler's--big and broad. Also, the leopard has furrier ears. This is a leopard (Zawadi is her name; she is my favorite leopard from Big Cat Diary): [img]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4685914970_38743695f9.jpg[/img] This is the jaguar again: [img]http://www.destination360.com/south-america/brazil/images/st/amazon-animals-jaguar.jpg[/img] [/quote] [img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5110/5558603854_39b5a7e3e2.jpg[/img]

magnificat Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 Well this is funny. The first time I come back on phatmass after leaving the convent I see this thread back up. In case anyone is looking for ideas, here are some things that I did before entrance: - Bouncing on those big bungee trampolines they have at the mall. - Indoor rockwall climbing. - Got a massage. - Got a mani/pedi. - Went on a pilgrimage to a Marian shrine. - Took my parents out to a nice dinner. - Flew a kite (never did it before!). - Gambled at a casino (lost a whole dollar...). - Went out for drinks with friends.
Sarah147 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Ooh, that sounds nice: get a message. I'd also love to try: Surfing or boogie boarding in an ocean Skiing Horseback riding Edited March 29, 2011 by JoyfulLife
MargaretTeresa Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I've been to the rainforest and heard a jaguar...Didn't see it though. Kinda bummed me out lol
OnlySunshine Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 [quote name='MargaretTeresa' timestamp='1301421591' post='2224246'] I've been to the rainforest and heard a jaguar...Didn't see it though. Kinda bummed me out lol [/quote] I call them the "Leopards of the rainforest" because they, like leopards, are very elusive. It's like chasing shadows. I would never want to get too close to where a leopard or jaguar is either because they can stalk you without you even knowing they are there.
MargaretTeresa Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Haha! I know! I wrote a paper on them and how if they become extinct, we're in deep poo. Like, the entire world. Not good for the environment and they help with containing diseases....
FutureSister2009 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1262483781' post='2028811'] Probably Vegas. You might not want to go there after you're in a habit. [/quote] Unless you're in Sister Act!
FutureSister2009 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 If I really go for it, I want to travel the world first. I'm going to take advantage of all or at least most of the trips my college will offer when I transfer. They have spring break international trips, spring break service trips and mystery trips! I'm going to Rome in April so that's a start.

[/quote] Yeah, it really is sad that they are so vulnerable to extinction. If I don't become a Sister, that is what I plan to work on--conservation of the big cat species. They are magnificent creatures and I will really hate it if they all die out.
InPersonaChriste Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 [quote name='magnificat' timestamp='1262476319' post='2028766'] I'm interested in seeing what others who are discerning would want to do before entering religious life - whether it's serious or fun. Ideas? [/quote] I would like to learn Spanish fluently and go to Chile. But I am doing that so I am fulfilling my bucket list. Truthfully their is nothing greater to do than God's will, so why wait?

FutureSister2009 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Oh and I want to win NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writers Month). This is my first year doing it and I'm hoping it will be a lucky year. I hope to publish a book someday but that could happen before or after I enter Religious Life God-willing right?
stlmom Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Want to add my "welcome back" also, Magnificat. Where have you been?
