Amppax Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey Pham! It's been a while since I've been on here, thought I'd stop in and see how everyone is doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amppax Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good. Had a skype sorta date cancelled because she has too much homework, but rescheduled for Tuesday. :) How'd it go? I have not been on here nearly enough recently, this is the first that I've seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi everyone! It's so weird to come here again, I feel like I've been gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sorry just saw the post from the 17th! It went pretty well, have another this weekend. I'm going down to visit her in April!! How goes things in Steubie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good to hear! Things in Steubenville are good, We're about to go on Spring Break, and so we have midterms all this week and next. The RA job is busy, and I'm really busy with my household right now. I've got a phone interview for a summer job (Teaching Totus Tuus in Lexington) on Friday at 1, prayers would be appreciated. Other than that, things are good, they've been improving over the course of the semester, which is a nice reversal of the usual trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You've got the prayers for the job (though don't try to say the name five times fast...I admit to trying). And glad the semester trend is the reverse of normal, and that you're not being driven nuts by being an RA! And midterms...yuck. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Haha as far as Midterms go, this is a pretty tame go around. I have no idea what to expect with this phone interview. I have no idea how to prepare for it. Pray I guess. My girlfriend got hired as an RA as well! Which is really good for her and her family, her sister is coming next year, and because of this job her parents are going to be able to send her sister here.

BG45 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sweet! Both on the exams and on the girlfriend getting an RA position (and therefore her parents being able to send her sister there as well). It's always good when things are going alright :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 That it is. Praise God is all I've got to say. Although it's been really stressful on her, she had to choose it over something else really good, and the whole situation was very upsetting for her. I'm just praying it works out well. Well, I'm up until 2 AM, so I might as well post a bit. Totus Tuus interview went ok, but I'm afraid I won't get the job. And it's getting late to apply for internships. I probably didn't look at enough different things. Well, learning experience is all I can say, I might be able to find something. It's sometimes almost depressing to think I'll be about to graduate at this time next year. I don't feel like I've learned nearly enough, and I'm so afraid I'm not prepared for Grad school. And quite honestly, I'm not sure of what I want to do or where I want to go. The plan has changed twice since I've been here. At least I haven't changed my major. That would really make this a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 May I offer some unsolicited advice? I don't think anyone's actually "ready" for grad school. It's just a gradation of how well one adjusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 May I offer some unsolicited advice? I don't think anyone's actually "ready" for grad school. It's just a gradation of how well one adjusts. That's actually really encouraging. Hopefully if I'm accepted into the accelerated masters program, I'll be able to ease that adjustment somewhat. We shall see. I've got all kinds of crazy plans for next year. probably not the most practical ones. Just met with an older friend tonight who is in the PhD program at Catholic U and we talked about this stuff over dinner. At least I can converse intelligently about theology, even if I feel I know nothing. I also might have found a summer job option: intern at St. Paul Center here in Steubenville. That would be amazingly providential if that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJon16 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wow, Amp. It's awesome to see how things are going. I am praying for you. If you could through a few my way, that would be amesome too. I'm in the realatively "advanced" stages of the seminary application. So far, so good. "Oremus ad invincem" as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
