I am at Loras!! YAY!!
And my flatmates are wonderful. The two that were already here had everything all decorated and organized when I arrived this morning. They are so good. And it didn't take very long to unpack all of my things, which is always exciting. I have so much more room than I'm used to - it's unreal! I love it!
So, Mass was wonderful. What better way to reconnect with people you haven't seen all summer? I ran into most of my good friends there, and we went out for dinner afterwards. It was really fun. I missed everyone so much! And Father's homily was, of course, priceless. He has the best homilies, I think.
Classes start Monday, and I'm not too worried. I have only 15 credits this semester (which is REALLY low for me), so I'm kind of excited. I will have time to enjoy things a bit more. Yay. Except for my crazy Christian Sexual Ethics class. I ran into the professor today...and well, we'll just have to see. Oy vey.
OH!! I nearly forgot! I good Dominican friend is no longer Patrick (or as I knew him, Jack) - he is now Brother Dominic!! YAY! I am so happy he's Dominic...that name fits him perfectly. I am so happy for him! Congratulations Brother Dominic! Deo Gratias! I might post a picture of him if I get one...we'll see.
And the MOST exciting part about my room here at Loras - I have EWTN in my bedroom! I can watch it ALL DAY if I want. AND ALL NIGHT. I might have died and gone to heaven. :) I jest, although I am very excited. We never had real channels until this year, and it's so amazing.
Well, I think I might actually get to bed early (how crazy is that?) so that I can enjoy the next few days and be well-rested. Yay.
So good to be back!
Caritas et veritas!!!
