A good weekend

I had a pretty good weekend, and as I get back to the grind of studying for tests and writing papers, I thought I'd take a second to reflect on the sweet time that I had this weekend.

I had two tests on Thursday so that night I took a nice long nap and went out with my friends to celebrate the end of the week (yes, my weeks end on Thursday!
Friday morning I woke up early to go to Iowa City to meet my Dad and go to an event with him, and was back in Iowa city by the early afternoon to hang out with my brother, who is a student at the University of Iowa. We hung out on Iowa City's pedestrian mall and ate dinner at an amazing Ethiopian restaurant. I love Coe and Cedar Rapids, but every once in a while it is fun to get away to a true "college town." That night a friend of a friend was performing in downtown Iowa City so my brother and I met up with our uncle, cousins and a bunch of my friends from Coe to hang out and listen to a sweet piano player.

Saturday morning I woke up and drove back to Coe to work in the Coe garden. Our environmental club and dining services work together to maintain a garden that provides food for students. I love the idea of growing our own food and don't mind garden work either, so it was a great time.

That night I got invited to the AOII formal by my friend Kristen. I had never been to a Greek formal before, so this was a new experience. We had a great dinner, there were some awards, prom pictures (below) and lots of dancing!



Sunday came and involved me catching up on a lot of sleep and studying and going to mass with Kali for Palm Sunday. I then went to bed feeling content with a full weekend.
