There's no place like home...

Wow, what a weekend! A lot of good stuff has been going on and I'm excited that due to Fall Break, I don't have classes until Thursday still. In my last post I mentioned how I just needed to relax a bit over break, and I have definately accomplished that. Also, before I forget, I also mentioned last time that my fish did not have a name yet. Well, the verdict is in and my Oscar's name is... (drum roll)... Howard. Howie for short. If you don't like it, you'll have to take it up with Mary. (Good luck, she's scary :) )

But yeah, a lot of good stuff has happened between my last post and now. Friday Mary and I went to her house in Fort Wayne and I got to meet her sister, which was a good time. And then we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Flat Top Grill, which is always a good time. Then I bought two snails to help keep Howie company and we headed back to Bluffton. The rest of the night wasn't incredibly exciting, as I was on duty and most people were home for break, but Mary came over later and we got some more quality chill time in.

Saturday was pretty good as well. In the afternoon I got to spend some more time with Mary. Then, my friend Jake and I went to Findlay so I could buy some food for Howie. My goal was to get ghost shrimp, but they were out so we settled on 10 goldfish for $1. They ended up giving me 15 or 16, so that's cool. So needless to say, Howie will be eating well for awhile.

And then, Saturday night, NOTRE DAME WON THEIR FIRST GAME!!! If you haven't picked up on it in my previous posts, I am a huge Irish fan. I couldn't watch the game because it wasn't showing around our area, but I was able to listen to it online. That definately made my night. Mary came over after that again and that was really good too, and we talked about some good stuff.

Then on Sunday, I was able to go home and see my family for the first time in about 2 months. Some of my cousins and aunts and uncles came over for dinner which was a lot of fun as well. Mary was there, so it was a lot of fun to introduce her to everybody. And there's always a lot of good food at those kind of events.

Today was pretty solid as well. I randomly found my passport under my bed early in the afternoon, which was cool. (For the past year I thought I had lost it. Well, I remembered that I put it in a specific bag, but then my mom moved the bag and put it under my bed apparently. So I'm blaming it on her. :) Turns out that's not a very good story.) I had to run a couple errands for my parents, but other than that I did what any good college student does on a break- absolutely nothing. Well, that's not entirely true. I did learn a sweet magic trick where I can make a toothpick disappear and then reappear. I would show you a video of me doing it, but I just remembered I left my camera at school. But trust me, it would have blown your mind. (I'll probably post a video of it next time, because I'm oddly proud of the accomplishment.)

And then tomorrow I have to go shopping for homecoming. I have a suit, but I think I'll have to buy a new shirt and possibly a new tie as well. I really don't like shopping, but it's fun to get new dress clothes. The classic Catch-22. Then I'll be heading back to Bluffton. I guess breaks can't last forever.

That's all for now. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but like I mentioned earlier I forgot my camera at school. I'll make it up to you next time.

Until next time,

Scott
