Raindrops keep falling on my head...

I had such a good time this past week at Stonehill. It was a very fun, but very wet week. It rained a lot, which was very weird for me. I knew that coming from a very different climate meant I was going to have to get used to the bitter winter months, but I didn't know it would already be cold. Its September! But, the rain actually didn't end up being that bad. There is a lack of pictures for this post because of it (I didn't want to ruin my new camera in the rain!), but it actually made some stuff more fun. Friday night was our first home football game. It wasn't raining when we got there, but once the game got going, it proceeded to pour down on us. My friends and I were all completely drenched, but we stuck it out for the whole game and had a great time cheering, singing, and dancing in the rain. And I even won a $20 gift certificate to Dick's Sporting Goods at the game.

Then on Saturday night, we had Casino Night in the Commons. That was so much fun! My friend James and I ended up at a table playing Craps. We didn't know how to play, so we didn't think that we would stay that long. But, we caught on quickly, and ended up staying there for the rest of the night. That table was great because there were two dealers working it. They were a hilarious combo. They were joking around, giving everyone a hard time, and overall making it a really fun experience. And that weekend ended up being a really lucky weekend for me, because I won a DVD at Casino Night!


Classes have still been going pretty good. I've started to have quizzes and papers due, but so far still nothing unmanageable. I find myself overstudying a lot, always prepared for the possibility of a pop quiz. So far, none have actually happened, but I will be ready when they do.

I am really excited for this coming weekend, because I get to see my family! I have two older sisters, one a sophomore at Notre Dame, and one who graduated from Notre Dame in 2008. And I have a brother in his senior year at Michigan State. So, this weekend we are all meeting at Notre Dame in Indiana for the Notre Dame vs. Michigan State football game. My parents are flying out from California, so the whole family will be together. I am really excited to spend some time with my family. It should be a really great weekend :)
