Graceful rooms of Alabaster stone

Yep, I'm home.

I'm incredibly excited to be here with my family, friends, and dog again.

I've traded in below freezing weather for 70 degrees.  I'm seeing family and friends everyday.  I'm not thinking about classes at all.  I'm dancing, singing, joking, and chilling with no worries.

I've been home for just over 2 days and have done so much already.  Swing dancing, partying, visiting friends, visiting family, watching Tangled, late night Taco Bell runs...

There isn't any reason to be worried cause I'm home.

I'm just incredibly ready for all the partying that takes place during this awesome holiday season.  This Christmas and New Years are shaping up to be the best ones ever.

I'll just have to save my "look back at 2010" for my new year's post.

But, for now, it is good to be back at a place where everyone knows my name.

Bedtime

Wait...

ok. thats better.

I just put on my glasses because it is time for bed I feel more smarter more intelligent when I wear them.

I was just in Texas, at my old high school, at SMU, at IHOP, at my home...  I was with my family, my dog, my friends, my old teachers...  I was free from the stresses of school and I was free to be myself.

I am back at school.  I am going to bed so I can get up for my 8:30 Chemistry Lecture with Prof. Shrek.  I am going to bed so my mind can rest before I have to stuff it with information about the Gas Law, phase diagrams and other Chemistry junk.



I am falling asleep by the moonlight and I can't help but think of the things to come:

the next Notre Dame home football game, the next Psychology lecture, the first snow (followed soon after by the campus-wide snowball fight), the ice hockey, the grotto in the winter, the ice cream store, the hot chocolate, the next friend I'll make, the performance of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead...

Then I think of the things I love:

I love the grotto.  I love Notre Dame.  I love home.  I love my dog.  I love Texas.  I love my family.  I love my friends.  I love God.

Goodnight everyone!

The blog can't even handle me right now!

I wanted to write a very deep post talking about what life actually is but instead I've decided to live it.


I was going to talk about life an use an old proverb that one of my professors used during class:


"One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine. Suddenly, he noticed on the vine a plump wild strawberry." 


I have decided to take the strawberry, eat it, and relish in the moment.


Hakuna Matata!


Tomorrow, I am going back to the greatest state ever.  Today... well who knows?


I have already gone to mass at the basilica, participated in a extremely fun psychology experiment, done my laundry, and cleaned up my room.  Now?  Well, maybe I'll play some racquetball, go to Burger King, watch football, play football, or chill with my Stanford hall mates!


Whatever I am up to, I will have no worries!


See ya soon Texas!  It's been way too long!


go molly!
