Sleepy Sunday

I used to hate Sundays. In high school Sunday was the day that seemed totally out of place. Most of the time I had to wake early (ish) and go to church with my mom. Then, I would sit around all day waiting for school to start the next day. My view on Sundays changed when I got to college though. I look forward to the unscheduled time waiting for me at the end of the week. I can actually get homework and errands done. It's really nice to have a day to relax before diving into the school week again.

I just got back from West Virginia yesterday evening. I was there with an Alternative Spring Break trip, doing my part to alleviate rural poverty. We painted the outside and kitchen of a house and put flooring down in the living room while there. I really liked hanging out with my group though, and feel as if I have made some lasting friendships through my experience in ASB. The best part about the trip was the fact that I was in the same group as Maddie. It was really great hanging with her for a week down in WV. The evenings (for the most part) were fun filled as well. One night we had the pleasure of seeing a bluegrass/folk band Appalachian Countdown. The most fun that I had was when we went to go see a Bluegrass/Gospel band play at a really cool arts collective called the RifRaf.

I have some reading to catch up on and I really need to start a paper that's due Wednesday. I ended up not doing any homework over break. At least I didn't go in with the expectation of being productive.

I'll leave you with a picture of myself splitting wood in WV.
