I swear I haven't been neglecting you. I've started writing about eight different posts, and eight different times I've gotten completely sidetracked. But I promise it's always for a good reason, like homework. I had one of the absolute worst weeks of my college career, and its looking like next week will be pretty rotten. But I'm only going to focus on the positive things, because otherwise I'll probably go utterly insane, leave school, and go to work at McDonald's.

I get to go home next weekend! My "big brother" is getting married, and I am so excited I could explode. It's going to be a crazy, whirlwind trip, but I'm desperate for a break from campus. I'm braving the Megabus to get there, but it was a $60 fare compared to the $1000 plane ticket. So the choice wasn't too hard.

And speaking of travel, I'll be studying abroad next semester! I cannot wait to live overseas again! I'll also get to spend two weeks in England, visiting friends and traveling. It's been ten years since my family moved back to the States, and we've never been back to visit, so this is a huge deal. I'm also planning some other trips while I'm over there. I'm definitely going to Germany and, hopefully, Austria; I really want to go to Normandy, and I'd really like to make a pilgrimage to Muro, Italy where my patron saint, St. Gerard, was born. I bet you can't tell how utterly excited I am.

I've also discovered my "thing". I absolutely love to.... Dance! I've been involved in the Swing dance and Contra dance clubs, but I've recently been introduced to two-stepping. Being a huge country music fan, two-stepping is right up my alley. I went out with some friends last night and had a great time dancing and singing country music at the top of my lungs.

Well, I've got to go finish reading Bede for my Anglo-Saxon mid-term on Monday. Have a great weekend!
