Today is the last day of Fall Break, and I am entirely UNready to return to school tomorrow...However, I really appreciate that Creighton gives its students a whole week off to rest and relax after a vigorous 2 months of school and work, as not many schools have an opportunity like this. The students here make exciting plans, for example a few of my guy friends went backpacking thru New Mexico for a few days, while others took advantage of the break and drove to places such as Chicago, Colorado, and Madison. Many of the students drive or fly home for the week, and a handful stick around campus. To me, the best part about coming back together is hearing the stories they all tell and what everyone has done for the past week. Last night I met up with my friend Steve and he told me about his adventure in New Mexico backpaking and camping...two of the days it actually snowed, which made it hard to set up camp and also find the trail!
As for me, I had a fabulous time in St. Paul visiting friends. The highlight of my trip was visiting the Mall of America and going to one of my favorite grocery stores called Trader Joes, found mostly on the coasts, but St. Paul is cool enough to have one. We ate a lot of home cooked food by Lee's family, and also had the chance to try some of the restaurants
well known in St. Paul. The weather was ideal there, and I had the chance to run outside and see all the yellow, orange and red trees along the Mississippi river. Minnesota is definately a beautiful place to live and visit in the fall.
