Hello everyone! Right now, I'm on the road somewhere in Ohio (even though I am posting the entry on Saturday afternoon in D.C.), and there are about two inches of snow on the ground. I slept for about five and one-half hours, but can't seem to fall asleep anymore (I'm not too fond of sleeping on buses...). Right now, it's 6:00 a.m. St. Louis time, 7:00 a.m. in Washington, D.C. -- the sun is not yet up in either place!
Here's the bus I'm traveling on:
Our bus prayed evening prayer and a rosary, watched American Idol (the St. Louis audition show - ick!), screened Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, then prayed night prayer and proceeded to take a stab at sleeping. After four bus-riding 18-hour trips, you'd think I'd have it nailed... but, no, I was aching quite a bit when I arose; these seats aren't the most comfortable in the world ;-) .
I will be posting at least one blog entry a day so all my St. Louis friends (and whoever else may be interested) can keep up with what's going on in D.C. -- a few people were very excited to be going on the trip, but had other important events come up at the last minute, and couldn't travel with us :-( -- but I'll do my best to keep everyone up-to-date!
I have posted pictures on my Cardinal Glennon College website for your enjoyment! Click on a link below to view them!
