The past week has gone well with school, cross country, service and activities happening around campus. Although our women's volleyball team lost their match to Webster 3-1 last Tuesday night, they earned a hard-fought win in the second game. On Wednesday, I was able to spend some time with Jesus in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It was a magnificent time of prayer and reflection. God continues to bless me in everything I do. I also started working again with six special school district students on campus. I help them with typing papers, replying to emails and playing educational games on the Internet. I was able to help out with the teens at my church on Thursday night, as we spent a night discussing the importance and beauty of the Mass. On Thursday night, I participated in a social organization's event on campus. It was all about childhoodd games as we played Uno, Kickball, Dodgeball, Apples to Apples and others.
On Saturday, we ran a mediocre race in Louisville. We placed 9th as a team and did not have too many positives to take away from the race. The important thing we took away, though, was that we have been training extremely hard right now. As a result, our times have been affected. Now, we will focus more on our speed and really make a zealous surge in the last four races of the year. I cannot wait for the upcoming meets as we will all reach peak performances and continue to get better.
Saturday night was awesome as I worked part of the Dance Marathon Trivia Night. The purpose of the trivia night was to raise money for Children's Miracle Network and help the hundreds of sick children throughout the St. Louis area. The main event, Dance Marathon, is a twelve-hour dance-athon to support these children. Anyway, I saw many friends, new and old, and had an excellent time. On Sunday, I saw the Fontbonne Theatre Department's production of Misery. The two actors did a phenomenal job capturing both the horror and humor involved in story. I was laughing one minute, and then scared for my life the next. The actress playing Annie Wilkes captured the insanity and misery of her character, while the actor playing Paul Sheldon also was splendid in portraying his anxiety, fear and pain. Finally, classes are slowing down and I am keeping up with the work. The next four weeks will be awesome!
