I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

Announcements, Announcements...

ANNOUNCEMENTS!!

I do have another one, and it's a big one!

My big plans for Camp Re-NEW-All are coming together wonderfully, and I just have to brag!


We are having a Staff Service Day in December, working with Catholic Charities in the Springfield MO area. The day will be spent in service to others, while still getting to spend time with the staff peers. There are so many reasons why I want to do this, but here are my top three:
  1. Servant Leaders
    1. This is a whole new opportunity for my staff to learn all about being good servant leaders in the community
  2. Team Building
    1. Another opportunity for the staff to get to know each other, work together, and have fun while still doing something for someone else
  3. A Dash of Catholic
    1. One of my goals for this entire year of my life and Camp is to add a dash of Catholic Christians in everything I say and do, which means everything I'm in charge of
You have to admit- that looks so good on paper! Now, what does this mean for my staffers reading this? Keep your eyes open for applications that will be coming out, information in parish bulletins and the Mirror (our Diocesan newspaper). 

How's that for keeping busy?

Speaking of busy...it's Homecoming week, the start of the midterm weeks, and my to-do list (which is now LSAT free!!) is still so so long. But I love it.

So, what do you all think of my big big plans??

Confession

I'm incredibly inconsistent with my blogging habits.

But...in all fairness, I've been so stinking busy. The past couple days have been fall break, full of relaxing right? Wrong, in need of cash, I worked as a nanny for a few days.

So, in an effort to be a good honest blogger, here's what I've been struggling with this semester:


  • Going to my Intro to Research Writing Class
    • I really, really despise this class.
  • Practicing clarinet 
    • It's not that I don't love it, it's just...I always find something better to do.
  • Working out
    • Yeah, that just has not been happening. Shame on me.
  • Going to Mass
    • Yes, I know. I'm a hypocrite. But it's hard to get to mass when you don't have someone nudging you to get up and GO! 

Fall break marks the halfway point for the semester, so I've got the attitude of "let's fix some of this". Don't get me wrong, I love my life, and almost everything about it, but when I see an opportunity to make it better, why not go for it? Besides, isn't the point of college to become the adult you've always wanted to be? Well, that's my approach at least! 

So, with that in mind, I will write to you all again on Thursday, and hopefully will have a solid, Catholic-Girl style post. But then again, there's more to being a Catholic girl than just knowing your stuff, there's that whole, Catholic lifestyle thing right? Maybe I'll just focus on that for a while. It is, after all, my whole goal for the rest of the fall semester.

Totus tuus loves,

LeAnn
