Sunday seems to be the day when....

Dear xAndra,

Sunday again. Seems to be the only day I actually sit down and do anything productive, like work, talk to you, Pinterest, et cetera. I sit here on my bed (where I've been for a great part of today), gazing out my window at the back end of a beautiful sunset. I know you're home for your Fall Break this weekend (you lucky little b....!!), so you probably won't be posting for a while. So I thought I'd break the ice. Let's see... what could I talk about?

Well, I'm being utterly anti-social right now, sitting in my room with Sister Act 2 playing in the background while I proofread a paper and just sit with my computer in my lap for warmth. M and I finally turned on the heat today; Cork's gotten pretty frigid lately. I slept in a scarf last night; I have Westie imprints on my feet from the socks that I haven't taken off for a few days. I'm a little bit cold still.

Tomorrow starts my #4Liter challenge. I'm going to try to live on just 4 liters of water a day through Wednesday to try to raise awareness for water poverty and to get into the mindset of those without clean water access. I'm kind of thinking it'll be just like living in Blanchisseuse with those stupid water bottles for teeth brushing and stuff, but we'll see. It'll hopefully all be documented on my blog (if I remember to be creative and stuff), so maybe you'll be able to check it out ;)

Except for a quick run yesterday and seeing the boy for about an hour today, I've been pretty boring this weekend, just sitting here with my studying. Being a grad student is way more serious than undergrad, which I suppose is both good and bad. I don't know that the schooling has changed (though obviously it's a more challenging work), but I think I've changed a little. A Bachelors degree is something that the majority of my friends have done. A Masters is something I've chosen to pursue myself. More at stake, more interest. It's a weird thing.


Oh wait, my boring life is about to change. My housemate just asked if I'd meet her down at the corner pub on her way home from work for an evening pint! Woohoo!! People!

Alright love ya, talk to you soon. Sorry for the ramblings, but I suppose ridiculous banter is what a blog is all about right? ;)

Love always,
Sarlex

Happy almost Sunday!

Dear Sarah,

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your last blog post. Sounds like you're staying very busy and having fun at the same time. I love seeing all the pictures..and that hot chocolate looks divine!

Today, I slept in and did a little bit of homework..when I say little bit, I really mean very little. :) I also watched Kate and Leopold with Jackie, who had never seen it before. She thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I for the fifteenth time. Yesterday, I went to my weekly service project. For my theology project, everyone had to pick a site to go to every week. Jackie and I chose a nursing home, where we play bingo with the elderly. I love being able to go with her, but also have the opportunity to give some of my day to people who need and enjoy my company.

Anyways, hope you're doing well. Miss you tons.

Post soon.
Love,
A.
