Sadly, no. I only had the one discernment meeting so far on March 10th. It was very informal. We introduced ourselves, asked questions, discussed some of our fears of becoming a priest and ate pizza. I told them about my fear of public speaking which the priest assured me would improve with practice. The priest that is normally in charge of discernment won't return from his sabbatical in Rome until May so no formal discernment meeting until then. Another informal one is supposed to take place in April but no date has been set.
I had hoped to use the time away from Facebook, Mock and my other messageboards to focus more on prayer and reflection but ended up doing even more secret crossdressing than usual with my extra free time. On the upside I did also do more job searching and housecleaning than normal. It also didn't help that my Mom went to the hospital during this time with an infected toe that ended up being amputated and right now is in physical therapy/rehab(due to come home April 7th). This of course has caused my dad to become extra stressful and crazier and project/distract the craziness onto me because he has to do the stuff my mom usually does and can't sleep as much as he normally does.
