What will my day be like?

I wonder this myself. The Rule of Benedict outlines what the day should include. Here’s a link to the basic schedule of the Abbey. Thank goodness I’ve had two years of my alarm clock ringing at 5:45 to walk my dog, Viktor, so the 5:30 wake up shouldn’t be too bad. Of course, I’m taking vacation time from work for this experience and a lot of people probably think I’m nuts to get up that early on my vacation. They may be right.
