Lent!

"Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return"

So I've been meaning to update and everyone seems to be updating today so i figured its time i get on that.

I must say the past week has been a BLUR. I barely remeber the time ive spent in class, in fact i was barely in class these few days haha. I visited Kamrun thursday over at NYU with Aura and had a nice lil chat for a couple of hours. that 4 day weekend i was looking forward to? Came and went with nothing to be said of it. Yesterday i had a very pleasant day at Seans house along with Cindy,Pimento,Jeanine,Syeda, and Caroline. We hung out played taboo and went to eat at Unos. It was nice.

So for those practicing Catholics out there, you may have recognized the quote at the beginning of this post as one of the two or three things we might be told when we get ashes placed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday. So lent has begun today, i have given up facebook, limited my use of Aim and no meat on wednesday in addition to the mandatory fridays? sounds like a bit but im looking forward to it. Lent is or rather was my FAVORITE time of year and i LIVED for Easter mass and then looked forward to a UTM retreat that would occur afterward. But things have changed.

Only thing i want out of this lent...the connection i once felt to God, that brought a smile to my face, had me walking through snowstorms to get to sunday Mass, and had me blasting Christian music while everyone else played the latest rap song.

Same silly face lol.

But got my ashes to remind me of what i will end up as.

(It actually looked like a cross this year!)
