So for Fall Break this year, 3 of my housemates and I are going to Philadelphia for the weekend. I'm really excited as I've never been there before. We're attending a conference called "Gathering Around the Unhewn Stone: Biblical Explorations of Nature, Civilization, and Feral Faith." I'm really looking forward to a lot of the speakers and panels, and we'll get to hook up with Nekeisha Alexis-Baker again who came and spoke at Belmont a few weeks ago.

Me and my housemate Justin are really looking forward to trying out some of the local street vendors in Philly, he's already made a map of them and everything. Since we're going to drive up Wednesday, stay over in Dayton, OH for a night, and then finish the drive, Thursday we decided to use Thursday as our site seeing day and hit up LOVE park and the Liberty Bell and other cool sites like that.

I'm really hoping to meet up with our friend Emily as well. She's currently in Philadelphia as a part of Mission Year (http://www.missionyear.org/philly/). She was in Belmont's Service Year last year, and so now that's carried her on into more service. I'm really excited to hear about everything she's involved with and the way God is moving in her community.

But before I can have all this fun, I've got two midterms, and a 5 page book review to write, so I'll have to hold off on fun for a little while longer.
