Wedding

Fall break has come and gone, meaning it's the last half of the last semester of college. Weird.

As far as things going, here's the story. Three times last week I went to Ritter's, a frozen custard place in Mishawaka that is half off for Notre Dame students. What a bargain. I got large, delicious treats because it is so damn cheap. I guess the law of demand holds.

Thursday/Friday I worked on my thesis (a little). Friday at 3PM I loaded up the car (almost) and took off from South Bend. About an hour and fifteen minutes (~75 miles) later, I realized I forgot my suit. This was a crucial element of the voyage, for I was going to a wedding. Whoops. I promptly turned around the car and headed back to Notre Dame. I was a little annoyed, but oh well.

The drive was crappy, as the weather has been crappy around here for about a week. Yesterday, for example, it snowed. I forgot to take pictures.

Anyhow, the wedding was great, and we didn't really take too many pictures. The pictures we did take did not turn out. Including the pictures that we took for Christmas cards. Doubt me? Click here.

It was great seeing the Suchaneks and all. It was in the northern suburbs of Detroit (our hotel was a minute's drive from the Silverdome, and I saw the Palace of Auburn Hills for the first time). The reception was fantastic. Our family was really awkward out on the dance floor. Hooray for white people. I did miss the Notre Dame-Washington game, which I hope is the last time in my life I miss an entire ND game. Probably not, considering I aspire to be a lawyer, but you never know. Note to self: definitely NOT getting married on a Saturday in the fall.

Sunday morning Tim and I took off to come back to ND. We stopped at Angelo's in Ann Arbor, which is a great place to get deep fried French toast (that's right... yummy). We came back to ND, hung out in Dillon, went to Subway dinner (a Sunday tradition unlike any other) with Packy, and came back and I did some homework while tim did too. Poor kid, working over fall break. Monday morning we went to the American Pancake House, that amazing diner north of campus. Tim had the apple pancake, and I had the corned beef hash skillet. I barely even felt full. You know why? I'm getting fat fat fat. I've put on 10 pounds since I got back to school, and I broke 150 in weight for the first time in three years at some point in the last few weeks (I weighed 152 today). At this point, I'm just living it up this semester. For example, I had two pieces of pecan pie tonight. After weighing myself and feeling like a fatass. I plan on becoming bulimic after Christmas; I gotta enjoy the holidays too.

The rest of yesterday was class and a gym trip with the tim tim. The people at the Rockne gym were cool and let him in. This morning I worked and then took tim to the airport. This afternoon was spent at the gym and then blowing off my thesis. I'm supposed to have a first draft completed by this time next week. Maybe, but maybe not.

Anyhow, here are some pictures if you missed the link the first time around.
