Back from Christmas break!!!
It's been a great day. I drove back to Dubuque today, arriving at about noon. It took me about an hour to restore my room to its original (pre-break) condition, then I went to Dubuque County Right to Life to check up on things and hand in some checks, etc. I was informed that the group that we'll be attending the March with is the group that will be leading the March! How ridiculously exciting is that?! I cannot wait. I cannot believe it's this weekend!! Hoorah! Then the roommates and I went to get our books and whatnot. We made dinner for Rusty, Jon and Dan and then played "Would You Rather?", which is a very fun game. Then the boys left and we played another game called "Whoonu?" which is quite interesting, also. I recommend both of them.
To summarize break quickly:
January 3rd was my 21st birthday.
I worked 8 hour days at the bookstore nearly every day over break, minus a few days which consisted of:
1. Visiting my friend, Erin, at her apartment in Chicago.
2. Riding the bus into Chicago with my mom and her friend and my best friend, Elizabeth to do a little downtown shopping.
3. Meeting up with Brother Anthony Joseph at the St. Therese shrine in Darien, Illinois, then going to visit some really incredible Polish Dominican sisters. We got there at 1:30 and planned on staying until about 2 or 2:30. We left at 6. They were so awesome!!
My family bonded over jigsaw puzzles, finishing two really cool ones.
My mom and I had some good time together, laughing a lot and whatnot. It was fun.
My dad and I bonded too - over banana splits. :)
I watched a lot of TV, mostly of the CSI variety. I love mysteries and science and all of that stuff put together. I, after all, did entertain the idea of going into forensic science at one point.
That's pretty much it. There were some random shenanigans here and there, but that's expected.
My roommates Andrea and Mindy are abroad now. Andrea is in France and Mindy is in Ireland. I miss them, but I'm very excited that they're abroad, because being abroad is probably one of the coolest things I've ever experienced.
Something discovered over break: www.prolifesearch.com - it's powered by Google, and funds great great great organizations! Use it in place of Google!!!
That's about it for now. I need to get to bed. Tomorrow's the first day of classes. Gotta be ready! :)
Caritas et veritas, y'all!
