What individual with a serious thought to a religious vocation, or anyone with a religious bent wouldn’t want to invest a whole year doing nothing but pray, work, and attend classes on things like spirituality (Carmelite in my case) and religious history? It really was the most wonderful year of my life, and I’ll always be thankful for it.
It does sound wonderful! I often wish I could go back to college now that I’m not a ditzy young adult, but a religious novitiate would be cool, too.
Any activity in which everyone else can go to the bathroom on their own would be great, for that matter. Breaking rocks in the hot sun would be okay!
