After nearly 10 consecutive hours in Kimball (an impressive feat, if I do say so myself), we ventured on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holycross.edu\/faith-service\/facilities\/saint-joseph-chapel\">St. Joseph&#8217;s<\/a> where we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holycross.edu\/clubs-organizations\/society_of_saints_peter_and_paul\">prayed a rosary<\/a> and attended a peaceful evening mass. The best part of my day, though, was after Mass, when all of us went sledding, built snowmen, and a few epic uphill snowball fights on the hills at the base of campus. All in all, it was a fantastic day, and I am so, so grateful to be here, surrounded by so many amazing people every day! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_97\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97\" style=\"width: 319px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-97\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliannastratton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/03\/IMG_2277-e1678929791647.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"221\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-97\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the brave souls who flung themselves down the hill with me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-98\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliannastratton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/03\/IMG_2278-e1678929876430.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"186\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">snowball fight!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99\" style=\"width: 262px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-99\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliannastratton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/03\/IMG_2279-e1678929830395.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"148\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">getting back up the hill was pretty tiring, too&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday this week brought the blessing of a snow day, and thus a very happy campus population.
