So, that just happened... my 2nd degree lecture is complete. I just went in to work on my 2nd lecture with my mentor and, although I thought I had it pretty well, my mentor thought it good enough to make me do it again …
Last week, I started my memory work so that I may attain the 3rd degree in Freemasonry. So far, it is very easy compared to my last lecture. I should have this knocked out by the end of the week. Wish me luck!
I received my 2nd degree tonight. It was everything everyone said it would be. Thus far, I have been impressed with the great care all of these gentlemen put into the degree work. This was especially true this evening. …
The date for my 2nd degree is May 13, 2016. I have been told this is a very pretty degree. Pure excitement, not really nervous like in the 1st. Woohoo!
I finished my 1st lecture for purposes of advancing to the 2nd or Fellow Craft degree. Heart was pounding, but I did very well, according to the committee. Now, I am just waiting for a 2nd degree date. I'm excited.
I have begun the memory work for advancement to the 2nd degree or Fellow Craft. So far, I have been able to retain much more than I thought possible. Hopefully this will continue to be the case.
