Well folks, only 3 hours of work-study stands between me and heading home for Thanksgiving break! It all is quite surreal...five months ago this month didn't even exist in my mind, all I could see was the never ending summer. Then school got here and has FLOWN BY and here we are, less than a month out from the end of the semester. Seriously, time is weird.
Since I only have 3 days at home before I come back to KC to work, I'm fitting in quite a bit of people time. This evening when I get back I'll go to Mass with a friend from high school and tomorrow I'll be seeing another friend from high school and having a certain boyfriend help me extensively on my Philosophy of Aristotle term paper. Thanksgiving Day will be split between Matt's family and my family. May I just say, I'm super super excited to spend the day with his family?? Consider this a shout out to them...I super super love them and can't believe how much they've already accepted and embraced me into their clan. Oh man. I'm blessed. And then Friday my mom (strangely enough) wants to see Life of Pi in theatres, so we'll possibly catch a matinée, and that evening some girlfriends of mine are getting together for some fellowship and prayer time, so hopefully I'll be able to make it to that.
Whew! So that's my week coming up in a paragraph! This past week was spent preparing a term paper for my Philosophy of Death and Dying class, and the weekend was spent working...a CNA at work broke his leg on a fishing trip, so I filled in the entire weekend on the third floor where he usually works. Which was fine, kind of stressful since I'm not usually up on third floor and I had to relearn the routine, but fine. I actually had a nurse tell me she wished I was up there more often, so that's always nice to hear that I can help bring God's love and peace to some people.
Safe travels to everyone, and a blessed Thanksgiving filled with warmth, love, and gratitude to you!
Aw, man! I wish we could be there to celebrate with my family as well! Give them extra hugs and loving from us... we're pretty bummed that we don't know the next time we'll get to see everyone since I'm not allowed to travel this Christmas. Enjoy your mini break!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely pass on the love!!
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear about your Philosophy of Death and Dying class sometime. Any books you've read from it that you'd recommend? That is a topic that probably deserves more attention than it gets.
BLESSINGS!
It's been mostly selected readings and short articles that our teacher has in a course pack and then we write a 2pg paper for each class on our reading. There's been some good articles, but I haven't been as impressed by the books we've used. If I'm able to catch up with you over Christmas break I'll try to remember to show you some of the articles!
