First Saturday



Went to Mass at 9:00 a.m.



Ate brunch



Cleaned dorm. One of the first things we did as roommates was to decide what kind of chores needed to be done and how we could best divide the work. So after a discussion, one of my roommates made a chore schedule. Today my job is to clean the bathroom sink and mirror, and sweep the common room. I also had the option of mopping the common room either this week or next week. I decided to do it this week. The dorm is so nice and clean! I'm so thankful that I'm living with tidy girls! :)






Then I went to a just-for-fun kickball game between the seniors and the freshmen. I was part of the fan support. ;) We lost, but I heard that the freshmen beat the sophomores in the game before!






Ate chocolate cake. It was from wal-mart or something and it had been left over from the party on Wednesday. Since it hadn't been opened it was still good. YUM! Because we didn't want to waste it, we took it down to the loby of our residence hall and shared it. The last piece was taken over to Xavier (the men's residence hall) along with an unopened bag of potatoe chips from the same party.






Studied history. Read The Epic of Gilgamesh; it was a bit depressing. Began writing short summary of Gilgamesh.



Ate dinner.



Watched fellow students trying to ride the mechanical bull. (It was western night.)



Left as square dancing started, and returned to finish summary.



Went on Rosary walk.



Talked to my family on the bedroom phone, since cell phones only get service outside due to the hurrican proof buildings and our rather remote location.



Fiddled a little.



Checked e-mail.



Wrote blog.

Hey Biz- so what are you up to? Doing anything fun for the rest of the weekend? We went to Barnes and Noble, met Aunt Jennifer at the outdoor mall and then came home. Getting ready to have dinner now. Hope you're doing well and trying to enjoy school. Love, uncle Steve

Hello Bizbeth!
Uncle Stephen and I have been keeping up with you via this blog, but being a phone person..... I want to talk to you.:) However, remebering the college life there is no time for telephoning.
We are pleased you are jumping right in and continue to pray for you.:)
