The distance is what you make it..

Just in case you were wondering, most of my blog titles are lines from songs...

To put it simply, I've been having a blast. Whoever invented this whole college thing deserves some major props... Friends are great, classes are (fairly) easy right now, weather is beautiful, stomachs are full, music is playing. Yup. Goood times.

A group of us spent this past weekend at my friend's sister's house in Frederick, Maryland. (The friend is Lauren and the sister's name is Jess.) It was sooo fun. On top of all the fun and frollicking, probably what made it the best was just the fact that it was a weekend OFF-campus. I mean, Messiah is pretty and everything, but the change of scenery was very welcomed. We sat around and relaxed a bunch (watching T.V., playing ridiculous games, throwing frisbees, watching movies, playing Nintendo 64) and ate A TONNE... literally. It was soo nice to get homecooked meals and desserts and eat beyond our heart's content.

Here are some pictures:

(Just so you know, the group consisted of me, Austin, our friend Isaac, and Lauren, Jess, Elise, and Cierra)

So there you go.. if you can access my facebook account, there you will find more pictures along with videos... including an impromptu song about jenga.

Currently I am just sitting at my computer, but as soon as I finish, I am going to run off to swim practice (last one this week, and we have our first meet next saturday!!), and then I'm off to Lottie for a quick bite, back to the room to change, heading to Men's Ensemble from 7-8, and then a group of us (probably the same group) are going out for dinner somewhere.. sort of as a final celebration before our long separation (.. nice rhyme). Because tomorrow marks the start of FALL BREAK!!

That's right, folks. Tomorrow I will meet my lovely family here on campus, give them a tour of my life these days, and then we are heading back North where I will frantically make the most of my only three days at home from August to December. I hope to see as many people as I can, but I still need to have a talk with that guy who invented college... some longer breaks would be nice.

Alright, maybe I should pack or something...

All My Lovin'
