My Weekend at St. Leo

Easter Break was nice after being in NJ and going back to the classes. To just be with family is very important to me, and we really enjoyed the day. Easter was a relaxing time, as we just had family over, and enjoyed good food and watching the younger ones finding the Easter eggs. It was a much needed and appreciated break from the hectic life that we all found ourselves getting into.

The next week, I was back on track, and being so close to home and still having obligations there, I decided that it was only appropriate to stay around campus for this weekend. On Thursday, I went and saw 1984. i had never actually read the book, so I could only go by what the play did, and it was very well done. The play reminded me slightly of a play i did in Highschool called The Moon is Down, showing the dramatic life of living in a totalitarian society. Yet, where my play had hope, this play stayed in despair. The set was made in black wooden stage, and soldiers wore the black outfits with the red bagdes of the facist symbol. It was very eerie, and we had the pleasure of seeing some of our teachers as Big Brother displayed on a large screen in black and white.

On Friday, it was hard not to go back to see my sisters in Tampa, as Carly and I decided to kidnap my sister Kristy to take her to get a manicure and have a nice dinner. We were all stressed because school had made us do the uphill climb, but we decided to have fun that night.

By Saturday I was back on Campus though, and I helped my friend find a nice white dress for her baptism. It didn't seem like such a hard task until we found out that none of the white dresses fit properly or were just not flattering designs. But we both were adamant on finding her a dress for her Baptism on Sunday, and after a disastrous trip to Brandon mall, we went to Citrus and found exactly what she needed. That night we celebrated our victory and went to see Horton Hears a Who, which I thought was very cute and very well done in its use of CG.

Sunday was a lazy day and i was able to just relax until seven when a few of my friends were doing their sacraments for the Catholic Church. I was happy to see them finally get to become a part of the Catholic community, and I enjoyed seeing my friend able to wear her white dress as she became Baptized into the faith.

But now it is going to be busy a schedule with the season winding down. It's crunch time!
