important, though a few days old
About a month ago I applied to the Hubbard College in Florida where they have the best training programs for people training to be Scientology counselors in the world. And I found out that I am accepted! It's crazy cool, this is the best opportunity ever because the program is so intensive and you come out the other end jammed full of information and knowing exactly how to apply it. For example, I have been working at my church for almost two years and I have been training there full time to get as far as I have; in Florida, because it is so intense people are getting through the training I have done here in 5 months or less there. The people who come back from training there have this incredible confidence in what they know and their ability to apply what they know to life and their job and that is really what I want. Plus, when I come back I will be the FIRST person in MN to train as high as I will be trained, ever. It's like getting a doctorate in Scientology. The reason it's the best church to train at is because it was specifically founded to be so by L. Ron Hubbard. And it's not easy to get in, there are a whole bunch of requirements- among those being able to study fast- so I'm really pumped.
If I do everything perfect then I will probably be down there 7 months. It could take longer if I get stuck a little (because you study at your own pace) or I could be faster than that and really rock the house. It all depends on me and how well I do.
Let's see, the church is called "Flag" because it was originally a ship that L. Ron Hubbard used and he landed it and founded the church there. I'll be staying in dorms and eat at a cafeteria and the schedule is from 8-10 daily (except Sat, we have the morning off). Of course, that means that about four years of college-like classes can be jammed into much less time, so I wont be gone as long by doing a schedule like that, but I know that at first I am going to HATE it. That's part of the reason I want to have a few weeks to get used to it first. I won't have time to access the internet and I won't have all the time in the world to call people, but I'll write when I can and call when I can and I really won't be gone that long.
The only thing that I am not looking forward to is how hot it is going to be.
So my original plan was to go down after Rachel's wedding in July, but I really want to go as soon as possible, so I am trying to work it out to go for a few weeks and come back for the weddings for a couple weeks and then go out there for the long haul. That'll start it out, let me get my feet wet and give everyone a little better understanding of how things will go while I am gone.
The only thing that's standing in the way of that happening is that I would have to quit my games with all yous guys that much earlier and that causes me a little bit of strife. Of course, when I came back for the weddings I could play so that we can let my character gracefully exit instead of saying "she disappeared one day" that doesn't really work for the pilot of the ship does it. I could be drunk in the wagon for the weeks that I was gone that don't overlap with Beth's honeymoon right? Are we planning on playing a little though the weddings will be going on? This is what I am trying to figure out because I really want to go a lot but I don't want to fuck anything over with other people. If I can, I would jet out of here on Wednesday and come back on the 28th.
