Last night I had the pleasure of sleeping at Good Shepherd. I hadn’t wanted to do this before, but I am not sure why. It was actually a pleasant experience and I’ll be going back tonight.
Good Shepherd is actually a retired monastery and present United Brethren church… I will admit to being confused on that part. Actually, it reminds me an awful lot of a youth hostel in Europe. This would be a lower class youth hostel but good enough for what I wanted.
It had a warm room, a semi-comfortable bed, a desk, hot showers, and silence. Just what a tired grad school guy needs!
I’ve had a bit more pleasant time down here this trip as there are many more students in my class and all of us seem to desire someone to hang out with. So far I haven’t had to eat alone nor have I been bored during free time.
This evening I will be looking for something to do and I may ever go to South Bend to see my dad and go to a ballgame at my alma mater, South Bend Clay High School.
