Yes, I’m not on the hill now that school has let out.\u00a0 I’m doing CPE (clinical pastoral education) at local Portland Emmanuel Legacy hospital by the Rose Garden.\u00a0 I’m moving into a house just down the street.\u00a0 So for you local folks, I’m going to be downtown (starting end of this week).\u00a0 I’ll be living there until mid\/end of August when the assignment ends.\u00a0 Already I can tell this is going to be extremely stretching and challenging.\u00a0 I will be a chaplain intern at a trauma hospital, the one that gets most of the life-flight cases, burn victims, and surprisingly: lots of births and preemies.\u00a0\u00a0 In reality, though, they do just about everything.\u00a0 It took almost an hour and a half just to walk<\/em> through all the major wards – it’s a very big hospital with lots of different assignments.\u00a0 I wouldn’t be able to spend even one week in each ward before my internship ends.<\/p>\n
