lovely tuesday.

I still vividly remember coming to campus for Spring Visitation during my senior year. It was such a surreal experience. I had always dreamed of going to Notre Dame and I was one step closer to making that happen. I remember stepping off the bus, looking at the golden dome, and instantly knowing that I had found my new home.
I remember walking into main building to register and seeing Rudy playing on a big screen. I remember walking onto South Quad with my host and her saying to me "It is such a great day! God must have known you guys were coming." The quad was covered with students playing frisbee, cornhole, football, doing anything and everything to enjoy the beautiful day. Little did I know how rare these beautiful days would be during the horrible South Bend winters.

Anyways, the point of this story is that today was one of these RARE beautiful days. When I came to campus on that April afternoon I didn't understand why everyone was so excited. Well, as each winter comes and starts to fade, I am beginning to appreciate these days more and more.

Today was a beautiful day. Sunny, (semi) warm, and not too windy. Despite my lack of sleep in the midst of midterms, today was a lovely Tuesday.
