| I finally jumped ship. Yes, I caved and got a real blog that non-xangans can post on. Go now!! bronzedshoe.blogspot.com | | |
| I haven't posted since I began this crazy semester, and that's probably for the best. It means I've been to busy enjoying it. Right now I'm a little burnt out- rough week and such. But tomorrow I'm going home, and I can't say that I'm not looking forward to the change of scenery. I got to eat out at Carraba's tonight, and I must say that I deeply enjoyed non-dining hall food. I haven't been off campus since.. Michigan State game? Yeah, I think that's right. Oh, I went to the Michigan State game- pretty much the most amazing thing ever. Yeah. Not gonna lie.
I'm different, but I haven't changed. Some people have CHANGED changed, but I think I've just changed a little. Maybe a little more outgoing/confident, but not much. After all, this wasn't that huge of a leap outside my comfort zone, Joey's been right by me the whole time.
What has changed is my faith life; I guess I've immersed myself so much in campus ministry stuff here that I'm praying a lot more without realizing it, or at least thinking about God a lot more. And wow, it's crazy how much I can see Him working in my life. I'm getting actual answers to prayers, and I believe that they're answers. It's great, but scary. I think that's good, though, because I'm learning to let go. I don't know, but I'm much better off now than I was this summer. Go figure.
I don't really know where I'm going with this. I'm tired and I don't want to pack, but I should. My roommates are sleeping in the room with all my clothes- that's my argument. I'm not physically tired as much as I am mentally tired. Break, you couldn't have come at a better time. That's enough rambling, good night kids. | | |
| Frosh-O was:
-endless trivial pursuit game with joey, annie, michelle, nicole, and patrick during domerfest, with a background of thudding, heart-vibrating bass
-singing spice girls with jean during karaoke night
-being sung to by countless male dorms
-awkward conversations consisting of the three questions: name, major, hometown
-tie-dying tshirts on the lawn of dillon
-trying out for folk choir and realizing I've never learned such essential choiry skills as sight reading
-lots and lots of icebreakers
-walking around the library's reflecting pool with a book on my head
-s'mores and a trip with new friends to the grotto
Everything is crazy, I'm moderately overwhelmed, but everything is also very good, and different, and exciting. I'm photographing for the Scholastic. I'm taking guitar lessons. I have professors who seem to care about their students (so far). I'm going to be a peer mentor with campus ministry, and probably a eucharistic minister and lector too. How cool would it be to lector at the basillica? Which is beautiful and peaceful, by the way. I've already stopped in a few times just to say hi. I hope to get a job at the Center for Social Concerns, although it's not too likely, I'm just a freshman. But anything is better than the dining hall. I'm going to be a theologian, anthropologist, sociologist, philosopher, and logician all at once.
Crazy but beautiful. | | |
| Hey everyone, I'm alive! Mostly moved in, almost done with frosh-o, classes start Tuesday. Hope everything is going well... | | |
| Frantic parents, check.
One last homemade spaghetti dinner, check.
More stuff than any one person could ever possibly need, triple-check.
A life packed in bags, boxes, and suitcases, check.
That's right, I'm leaving for college in a few hours. I am taking my opinions, aspirations, and trendy new haircut and taking on the world. (Look out.)
P.S. Go read all of the entries of readingwhilefalling.blogspot.com right now. This minute. Shoo. | | |
