Friday!
Ah, it's now Friday! That means it's getting even closer to Spring Break! But, before I get to Spring Break, I still have a take-home midterm for English, and midterms in Constitutional Law and Econ. But then I'm out of here, and it will be great. Ah, I am SO EXCITED, I tell you what. Only 5 more days, that's hardly anything in the grand scheme of things!
Tomorrow I need to buy tickets to Diplomatic Ball, so I'll have to get up early to get in line. However, I have big plans to go back to bed after I get the tickets, so I'm not going to bed that early tonight. I'll probably work on my English midterm and then watch a movie.
I hadn't written in detail about my trip to National Cathedral, so I'll do that now.
Wednesday afternoon, I walked up to National Cathedral from campus. It was a bit cold, and the walk took about 25 minutes. It wasn't so bad though, I could still feel my face when I got there, lol. I arrived just in time for the 5:00 Ash Wednesday service. There weren't that many people there, so I didn't have to sit uber-far away. The lessons/readings were good, but it was the sermon that was so good. It pretty much dealt with everything that I've been going through the past couple weeks, and offered good advice. I felt as if he was speaking directly to me, it was rather amazing how dead-on it was. By the end I was almost in tears, that's how powerful it was.
I had never gone to an Ash Wednesday service before. I think J.P. tried to get me to go to a Catholic one last year, but obviously I didn't (as I'm not Catholic!). Afterwards, some people on campus asked me if I was Catholic, because they didn't know that some Protestants do the whole Ash Wednesday thing.
Anyway, the moral of the story is I was really glad I went to the service and I think it really helped me feel better about everything.
So now I must get back to work, but I am really really realy looking forward to next week! :D
