Catching Up With Myself

Greetings. long lost friends!  I haven't posted in a very, very long time, and I apologize for that!  My life has sort of run away from me..... Some of the things that have occurred over the past couple weeks:

  • Women's night retreat: BeLoved 2012: UnTangled by Truth, with speaker and author Katrina Zeno.... wonderful evening!
  • Brahms' Requiem in Pittsburgh.  It was a great experience, and I'm so glad I went, but the ending was a bit of a let-down
  • STUDENTS FOR LIFE MEETING!!  I'm going to be on the Core team this semester, so I have a meeting every Monday.  I'm so blessed to work with these wonderful people.  I've been put in the Events group, so I'll be planning things for both on and off campus.
  • Tests.  Oh tests.  Both went better than I expected, which is always a nice thing.  
  • 1Flesh Rebellion info night!  Basically, a group of us are starting a "rebellion" of sorts... (no worries Mom and Dad, its peaceful :D ) We're going to begin an online protest of contraception, since it's a problem that effects the whole country.  We haven't divided up tasks yet, but I'm guessing that I'm going to be involved in the online design aspect..... super pumped about this!!
  • CATECHETICS IMMERSION DAY!!  This was a whole day dedicated to learning more about various areas of Catechetics.  I was able to attend talks by a Campus Ministry director, a Catholic high school teacher, and a director of youth ministry.  I think I've now pretty much decided that I want to go into youth ministry.  Happy Day!!
  • Movie night with friends- we watched There Be Dragons, which was an absolutely amazing movie about St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei.  Although the movie was partly fiction, I still really enjoyed it.  Definitely recommend!
Other various shtuff:

  • I'm taking 18 credits this semester, so I've got a larger amount of reading than last semester.
  • I LOVE EMBRYOLOGY!!!!  (something tells me that I've mentioned this before)
  • Media and Society is fascinating!  We're currently going over the 1st amendment, which is bringing up a lot of interesting points about free speech, like, what we can and can't say.  Woah.  I didn't know there were so many sides to this issue!!
  • My brother and niece are coming to visit me next week!  You can't even begin to understand how excited I am.....
OK, well, I've got to work on a paper..... I've got a busy day tomorrow!  4 classes, here I come!
xoxo,

  1. Wow!! Your Media and Society class sounds like it couldn't be more timely with all that's going on with the government overstepping its bounds with religion these days!!

  3. We saw "There Be Dragons" last night & really enjoyed it. I had heard mixed reviews on it and so wasn't sure what I would think, but I thought it was very well done and compared to other movies w/ a Christian message that have been done lately, I thought it was high quality. Of course, the message was great as well. Love St. Josemaria!
