It has been a brilliant week. On Wednesday I had an SGA meeting, in which we discussed some important issues on campus. I helped with an environmental awareness program on Thursday night. The night was designed to discuss ways that residents can better reuse, reduce and recycle. The presenters discussed taking simple actions that can protect the environment, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, using both sides of the paper when printing, and using dirty clothes to dust your room. It was very informative and taught me a lot.
Later on Thursday night I went to my church and was able to spend some time in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It was wonderful to get away from the craziness of school and campus. The highlight of the weekend by far was going on Metanoia, a retreat open to all students. It lasted from Friday to Sunday and was absolutely phenomenal! I heard several of my friends give talks about their faith, relationships, and how they have seen God in their lives. I spent plenty of time in prayer and reflection, especially during our small group sessions. I had the opportunity to meet new people and deepen existing friendships. The core team did a magnificent job planning the weekend and making it a great success.
The cross country teams did well on Saturday at the STLCOP meet at Forest Park, with one of my teammates, Zack Kassman, setting the new school record for the 5K, running a 16:24. I did not run because I was on the retreat. It should be very interesting to see what happens on October 30th. Four teams will battle for the conference title. I do not think that we are the best team this year, but I certainly believe that we can win on Saturday. We will have to wait and see!
