10 (Well now 12) Things I found out While on Vacation at Franciscan

So I just had the opportunity to vacation in the wonderful land of Steubenville. Well, I guess the town isn't wonderful, but the campus and people are awesome! It's great the things you find out or learn when you've been absent for a year from a certain place. Enjoy!

1. My household (Regina Angelorum) literally made me cry. I have never been so blessed in all my life to be a part of my household. The beauty is astounding and what a privilege it was to be able to join them for Lord's Day, Choir, Maggie & Amy's Coordinator Induction, Praise & Worship, Business Meeting (yes, even Business Meeting!), Morning Mass & Breakfast!
2. I'm glad that I got to live with Libby, Kelly, Mari & Emily. They are amazing hosts! I found out that Mari is one of the coolest sisters I have! She's an amazing drummer! Emily can prance like a Gazel (Don't know how to spell that). Libby is a great pianist and makes delicious pancakes! And that Kelly  has a conspiracy going to make everyone move to North Carolina. It is tempting, I'd love to live by the ocean for a while. I'm so glad I got to spend time with all of them!
3. People still talk about my Austria Mission Trip to Portugal. I heard from two people (one I went with, one who I didn't go with) that people still mention all the crazy shit we did. Portugal Mission, I'm so proud of us!
4. If you are staying at someones house and want to give them a hospitality gift (such as money like I did), leave it as you leave. Then when you get threatening texts from them such as "I'm going to kill you Sam Klish!" you will already safely be a few hundred miles away. 0 : )
5. Fr. Seraphim is back on Main Campus, and I found this out when I went to Mass. Let's just say I had some Austria flashbacks...Moving on!
6. I finally heard Nicole play her harp! She serenaded me and now my life is complete. I can die, haha!
7. I love that I can see friends I haven't seen in a year and hang out and talk to them like it's only been a few days! I love friendships like that!
8.  Eastern time does screw with you. I know it's only an hour but for whatever reason it confuses your internal clock! (I have a confession to make, I already knew this, it's not new.)
9. The Canticle Guitar Accompaniment is the best thing ever. It is like being a kid in the candy store!
10.  When talking to JT, he told me he thought I was from California. So I was mistaken as a Cali Girl. I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing?
11. St. Pete's in Steubenville has the best priests for confession! I have and will definitely take advantage of that every time I go to Steubenville from here on out! What a blessing!
12.  My legacy is being followed in household. There are still some emo, fire-loving angels out there. I. Love. Them. Haha!!!

Well there you have it. Things I learned on vacation, for your viewing pleasure.
