Kidnapping
This past Saturday, the girls from our group that goes to Church together decided to surprise all the boys by kidnapping them. We sent them kidnapping notes attached to a box of their favorite candy through the inter-student mail system. They then RSVP-ed by e-mailing us back at a neutral, newly created, e-mail address so [...]

A Spectacular Meal
My roommates and I made a spontaneous decision on Saturday to cook a home-made meal together. We had been debating all week whether we needed to go to Walmart or not. Finally I said, “Let’s just go today because if we don’t the thought will just keep interrupting our studying for the next three weeks!” [...]

Fall Break: Episode 5-Where We Taste the Town
We originally planned to go to a museum in the morning but decided around 1a.m. that sleeping in would be the preferred choice. After breakfast Maggie showed us around her high school and we visited all three of her brothers in their classes. We then had lunch at Ed Debevic’s. It’s a restaurant where the [...]

Fall Break: Episode 4-Where We Roam the City
Monday was pretty similar to Saturday. We woke up early in the morning and walked around state street (more shopping!). Then we toured Millennium Park and saw the bean. We had lunch at Giordano’s, famous for Chicago style deep dish pizza. It was delicious!! The weather wasn’t so great that day; it was pretty rainy [...]

Fall Break: Episode 3-Where We Enjoyed God and His Gifts to Us
Sunday was just a great day of rest. I’ve always found family traditions for the Sabbath really exciting and interesting to observe because though the method often differs, the result of glorifying God is the same. It’s a good reminder that God made different cultures, different people, different ideas, and he reveals himself through each one. He [...]

Fall Break: Episode 2-Where We Head Out to Town
We [there are four of us total, including Maggie] slept in a bit Saturday morning to make up for the weariness from travel the day before. Breakfast was at 11 a.m. Maggie’s mom had prepared for us just about every cereal possible and she even baked her very own bran muffins with dried cherries and [...]

Fall Break: Episode 1-Where We Arrive in the City
I went home with my roommate, Maggie, for fall break. She lives in Chicago. Just to clarify, she actually lives IN Chicago. [Yes, in the actual city :) ]
Note: I was waiting until I returned to school to blog about fall break because I wanted to post pictures for you guys to see, but it [...]

Suite Prayer Time
This year, our DC (Discipleship Coordinator) for Halcyon (the hall I live on) came up with the idea of “suite prayer time”. Every Sunday night we are encouraged to have a time of prayer with our suites (the rooms in Maclellan/Rhymer are suite styled). Yesterday was our second prayer time together and I really enjoyed it. [...]

Lunch Date
I had a lunch date with one of my best friends from high school today. We went to a Japanese sushi place and it was amazing. For dessert we shared a slice of fried cheesecake. Yum! But the best part of the entire lunch was the conversation we had. We had not really had a [...]

Surprise!
I got a surprise present yesterday from a special friend of mine! She didn’t give it to me in person, but sent it through her messenger. I know she’ll probably read this so I just wanted to say thanks and that my fingers nails are now a translucent lime green color. They’re actually really cool! [...]
