Work Crew

One aspect of community life here at Nashotah House is work crew. Once a week on Monday afternoons students find themselves working together on campus in various activities. Since we were out of school on Monday we had our first gathering this afternoon. Some groups worked outside on the grounds, some in the chapel, and some in the library. The real special people got to work in Kemper Hall (that's me) where we get to do things like sweeping floors, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, and chores like that. Kemper Hall is where our classrooms are located as well as the school gymnasium. Today my comrades in arms were Jonathon and Tom and I'm positive that when everyone takes their seats in the morning the first words out of their mouths will be, "This room looks awesome." But I'm not holding my breath. The purpose in our work is based on the Rule of St. Benedictine who holds that there are three things vital to community life which include prayer, study and work. Now it's time to run home because I've got some Greek studying to do.
