So, as many of you already know, I am writing this from a computer in Guatemala.  I came on the Newman study abroad trip with six other Newman students.  If I were to try and explain everything that I have already learned and experienced it would take hours.  Between the ...

When I got out of workout this morning the sky was on fire.  What a beautiful sunrise!  Watching the sun come up is something I enjoy about getting up early.  How many college kids actually do that?  Most days I see the sun both rise and set (while at practice ...
