Weekends at College

This is my first weekend back, and it's quite relaxing. I always like the freedom of getting up a little bit later, eating brunch with my friends (the dining hall has breakfast food until 2 pm), getting coffee, and spending the day in the library (sometimes doing work, other times talking/Facebook/hand-sewing/laughing/staring out the window). Then, I'll have a relaxing dinner with friends, maybe watch a movie, or just hang out. The cycle is usually the same on Sundays, but even more relaxing. Some weekends, Mike will come for the night and I'll get to spend time with him. Sometimes my friends and I will get takeout. Sometimes we'll go get Halo Farms ice cream and go out to On the Border (like this weekend), or we'll go on one of the school's free bus trips to Washington, D.C. or Philly or NYC or New Hope.

It's always a nice break from the crazy week, even if there is a lot of work to be done. This morning, for the third day in a row, I actually made it on the Loop (2 miles around campus), and I feel great! Now I'm sitting in the library cafe with Melissa, my Holocaust books, and my iced caramel macchiato, and life is good.
