Entry Twenty-One

I did not realize it had been so long since I last wrote.

In my defense, the last two years have been quite busy, with missions seemingly back to back and I moved due to ah…well. I moved. Let's just leave it at that. I misplaced the journal in the move, and did not get back to it, as I have not been back to the Temple in some time.

Right now I am on leave for a few more days, before I am assigned another mission. I think I will transpose these entries into my datapad, to make it easier to access.

Perhaps if I use the datapad instead of the old fashioned method, I will be able to get back into the habit of writing daily again.

While I'm home, I've been visiting a lot in the crèche.

You remember Obi-Wan Kenobi who was in my first lightsaber class?

He's one of the ones I'm considering as my first apprentice.

I am looking at others though, also. He is such a promising student; perhaps someone with more experience would be a better match for him.

It's hard to say.

I'm also looking at an initiate by the name of Siri Tachi.

She's such a bright and spirited young woman, and two years younger than Obi-Wan. It makes her a bit young, yes, but I definitely think there is a good deal of potential there, but again there is the same issue that a Master with more experience might benefit her as well.

I'm doing my best to take things slowly and let the Force draw me to the initiates, much as I do with everything else in life.

Listening to the Force is the best way to decide.

Though, now I'm feeling more confused with the options presented to me. In time, hopefully things will grow clearer.

Perhaps I am not to choose just yet and I'm to wait a few more years.

Only time and the Force will tell.
