Current Mood:  cheerful
I had a wonderful day. I went to Advent Mass, my first Mass since I've been at Brandeis. Walking into the chapel was like...wow. Hello, childhood. I remember you.
Being at a Jewish university has been fascinating and wonderful. But let me just say this: Never underestimate the power of the traditions you've grown up with. There were Christmas trees and lights and carols and it was way exciting. Everyone was so nice. I met Katlin there, too(!), which made my night. We managed to make friends with everyone in our row. We decided we're going to go to Mass together more often once it starts up again next semester.
Also, it was nice to be part of a religious ceremony where I understood what was going on. :D
The service was jointly run by Alex, the Protestant chaplin (he's a Quaker, so he won't let me call him Reverend) and Father Cuenin, the priest, in the Protestant chapel since the Catholic chapel is undergoing renovations. It was attended by both Protestants and Catholics, which was wonderful.
Other nice things that happened today:
-I got an 87 on my Islam Civilizations paper (FTW!)
-Hanukkah party and Yankee swap at Generations this morning
-BUILD
-study with Ruairi and Katlin after Mass
-It snowed Saturday. Have I mentioned that? =D
Goodnight, snow. Goodnight, wonderful day. If I don't return from my Arabic final tomorrow, tell my parents what happened to me, okay?
