Sundays

It’s Sunday morning. You roll over in bed and check the time.

“Only 8:00. You can sleep more.”

You fall back asleep. What feels like a few minutes later you roll over and check the time again.

“9:30…ugh.”

I’m going to be honest. After a busy week and weekend at Holy Cross, Sundays are super quiet. Between work due for the week and the fight to catch up on sleep, laundry, and trying to fit in time for reflection/relaxation, Sunday is busy in its own, quiet way.

So as I sit here typing, I’m looking at a pretty decent day of duties:

-Paper due tomorrow

-Spanish Writing Workshop

-Laundry

-Political Science Reading

-Study for Arabic

Even though waking up was pretty difficult this morning, it’s comforting to know that most of my peers have a similarly busy schedule today. Yes, the fabulous academics at Holy Cross create challenges and work-heavy days, but they are so worth it. Even though I look at this list and see the things I have to get done, they could also be seen as way cooler opportunities:

-Exploring the Vietnamese and US soldier perspective during the Viet Nam war.

-Cleaning up my Spanish with a qualified student.

-Getting ready for the week with clean clothes.

-Reading a really fascinating book about the George W. Bush Presidency that I may have never found on my own.

-Practicing a language that many people may never even be exposed to.

So, although Sundays are quiet and often feel mundane–they are an opportunity here to get ready for another beautiful, crazy week at Holy Cross.
