Humph. It will have to do.

Okay, so I gave up on my blog looking better. Something got pathetically messed up in my process, so I'm just leaving it like this for now. I guess its pretty in a pale way...but I miss having bright colors and a 'me' flavor. *sigh*. I have been avoiding my blog because of this distressing affair, but now I have decided that it really doesn't matter - the point of this blog is to share my craziness! Sooooo...I decided to start posting again. *shrug*. So, lets get back to what I have been doing lately...

This past weekend I went on a weekend trip to the University of St. Thomas - amazing school, by the way. The purpose of the trip was to take kids from my diocese and show them how the Catholic faith can be lived out while in college - and it worked! I now have much higher expectations of what I will expect out of a Catholic school, as well as myself. I don't know for sure if going to St. Thomas is what I am supposed to do or not, but I would be very happy if it was! Their Catholic Studies major is really cool - I got to sit in on a class!!! Yeah!! that was SO fun! There was a real professor who was funny and really smart and a good speaker and didn't know what colors should not be put together and everything! I could really see myself fitting in there - plus, there's the whole 'semester in Rome' thing...*nods emphatically*. Yup. SO happening. Or not. I don't know yet. But it would be AWESOME!!! (said in a really high sing-song voice).

Anyway...Oh, I got to stay in a dorm for 3 nights. That was interesting/fun/a little different. I think I could really get used to dorm life, though. I mean - you got a room, a roommate, lots of stairs, independence, (i liked the community bathroom - weird, I know ;) but then you don't have to clean it yourself!!!) plus there's all the other girls just outside your door (or down the hall a bit...) who become your friends and you can hang out and have fun, or you can shut your door and study like a crazy person and come out only for food with an insane light in your eyes....or not. Whatever. My point is, I think it's fun. :D (It didn't hurt that it was the Catholic womens' floor - there was a Marian shrine..in.the.bathroom.!. Haha! But it was so cool!)

Hmm...what else do I think would be interesting...there's so much to tell about this weekend, but I don't want this post to be too long..besides, I'm supposed to be doing school work. Shhh!! ;)

I like coffee. Yeah. And chocolate. But you knew that, right? ;)

Eating pie at 10:30 at night with the most amazing group of people and having a hilarious discussion about violating the nature of pie is really fun. Trust me. ;D

Ooo we went shopping at Leaflet Missal - so fun! I got two of the tinyest, prettyest, and mynowfavorite prayer books. The fit right in your pocket, they have beautiful pictures, and have so many prayers! I fell in love. I also got a stained-glass coloring book.. :D

And now I must close. Maybe I'll say more about this trip at another time. Maybe not. But I shall cherish the memories for a long time to come.
