Back to Blogging

Salvete, omnes qui me sequimini!  I have to apologize: I had planned to switch to Twitter updates this semester, but never really got into a routine with it.  Looking back on the semester, which is just a blur, and, realizing how nice it was last year to have the blog to keep track of what I'd been doing, I'm going to try to pick it up again (using as many -ing words as possible, preferably putting in one in each clause).  Might not be daily posts, but it will be better than nothing. :)

This weekend has been full: it was Borromeo Weekend (St. Charles Borromeo's feast day was sometime this past week, and the seminaries go all-out in commemoration), which on Fri. night consisted of Mass and a candlelight procession across campus (and there were, if I estimate correctly, about a million seminarians, so it was a pretty impressive procession), and ended with Cor Jesu.  Here Emily G., Anne W. (both new Lit Music Majors), Margaret H., and myself got to sing the Litany of the Sacred Heart with four of the Handmaids; I'd say it went well and beautifully!

Saturday: Katie and I biked to Whole Women's to shadow the sidewalk counselors.  It was colder than we had anticipated, our tires were pretty flat, and one of the ladies had pity on us and drove us back to UST. :)  That evening, after MMCing for Mass, "The Squad" came over to watch the Two Towers!  I was greatly disappointed by the Ents, but the rest of the movie was fantastic (and enhanced by commentary on Theodin's tactical choices, Aragorn's failure to guard hearts, etc).

Sunday: Holy Hour to celebrate the Year of Consecrated Life = Handmaids again!

And finally, hodie - Dies Lunae: the adjustment back to student life after all that excitement has been a little rough.  However, I got cranberries at Whole Foods the other day, and ate them with pumpkin pancakes for dinner, which was pretty exciting. :)

Now, to King Lear.  Valete, et dormite bene!
