Blog of a Roman Catholic Seminarian

Name: Anthony Urban
My name is Anthony Urban, I am Roman Catholic seminarian. I am studying at St. John Vianney Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. I am a Philosophy major and a Catholic studies minor. I am originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota and the diocese I am studying for is the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls. I am currently a junior and I am 21 years old. I enjoy reading, rollerblading, hanging out with my brother seminarians, playing ping-pong and shooting pool.

I continue to prepare for my trip to Roma. I have been looking at different places to go and looking at some maps. Things are going well. I'm charging my camera and will be going to get some styrofoam to transport wine bottles back to the states. I hope customs doesn't give me any grief that I am not 21 yet(I turn 21 a few days after I get back). I look forward to being in the eternal city. I am hoping to travel to Assissi an Pompeii for day trips. I will be taking many pictures and will post some when I am back. I hope to blog a couple of times as I travel. Holy Innocents, pray for us.
It has been quite a while since I last posted. I got home on saturday afternoon and relaxed with my family. Sunday was spent relaxing, making phone calls, and all that fun stuff. The past few days have been somewhat difficult. I have come to the conclusion that I need structure to my days. I am going to start with small things. A daily workout, time to read, and most importantly time to pray. I hope that all of you have a merry Christmas.
I will not be posting on this blog until I get my Metaphysics and Modern philosophy papers done. I have started both of them but these two things are more pressing than blogging right now.
