As of today, less than 2 weeks before finals are over and I will be back home! Honestly? I cant wait. Something about mom’s home cooking and the warm weather has me wishing to be home this December. I’ve actually been quite occupied since the last time you heard from me, and I’ve definitely been keeping busy.
This last week, I went to see Creighton’s dance program put on the Nutcracker. It definitely put me in the holiday cheer, and the costumes and sets were fantastic. I’ve seen many renditions of the ballet and this one was one of the better. It was also the week to finally light the mall with it’s Christmas lights and decorations. Every year the IRHG puts on a great little lighting ceremony, and while I was not able to make the ceremony this year, I was able to eat at the banquet, which had some very good eats J
Other than that, I’ve been keeping busy with school, preparing for finals and trying not to fail :P. I also went to volunteer today with an organization that feeds the homeless (not associated with Creighton) called Food Not Bombs. The organization picks up leftover donated food from stores like whole foods, hyvee, and bakers and cooks with it to serve the homeless. Although it was freezing down in the old market (where the food we cook in the morning is served) I was valuable in about 100 different ways. I feel so good and happy that it doesn’t even faze me that I have about 10 hours of hw to do!
Have a good one
