To end Labor Day weekend, we celebrated Amy's birthday. Instead of doing a typical dinner downtown, she raised the idea that we all live in Missouri and none of us have ever seen the state capitol. Kind of pathetic? More pathetic since it's only 30 miles away (while that might seem far in Chicago, that's pretty darn close in Missouri). So we went out to a lovely dinner in Jeff City at Ria's where we did not run into anyone we knew (another benefit of eating out of Columbia) and explored Missouri's state capital city.
Amusing parts of the evening:
When dividing up cars, we split up as 'suitemates' (Kate, Kathryn, Laura and I) and 'Jews' (Andrew, Asher, Amy and Shaina). Hahaahh. Funny how that worked out.
Here's our suitemates photo...with the amusing part being an icon of the Virgin Mary in the back left corner above the bathroom.
The Capitol Building!
Twainers in front!
So other than that, it's been an oh-so-exciting week. I do not begin class until 11 a.m. and have not slept in once yet entire semester. I've woken up at 8 or 9 to volunteer for organizations, catch up on current events, work for The Maneater or run other errands I can't find time to do during regular business hours (I never realized what a difficult task this was...why can't regular business hours go until 7 pm?). Thankfully, I'm caught up on school work and heading to Ames, Iowa tomorrow to go visit Helen! Wish me a safe drive!
