It is now Easter Sunday which means that Lent is officially over. Yay!
This whole weekend I was feeling REALLY, REALLY homesick (to the point of tears, really) because I couldn't be home for Holy Week and Easter events at my church. It definitely is not as satisfying if you can't go to Church with the people you love most. I've been feeling empty and heartbroken over things I couldn't control, so it hurt even more when I almost ended up going to Church alone for Easter..
Luckily, I ended up going to Easter Mass with two friends. They definitely helped fill the void that I've been feeling from lack of a faith support system. So it was really nice. Afterward we had a nice sit-down lunch at a restaurant because "it's Easter, we gotta do it big." Haha!
Needless to say, I miss my family and best friends a lot. I thought I had something just as close to them up here, but I've realized that it's not the same. They're there for me unconditionally, but especially when I'm feeling down. Definitely not something I get up here.
I can't wait to go home. Until then, I will be celebrating Easter and life by drowning myself in soda (which I gave up for Lent!)
Happy Easter everyone (:
Celebrate life, love, and faith today and always

What church do you go to up in Berkeley?
Sorry you felt lonely. Glad your friends went with you.
I actually went to church by myself today, but I guess I don't mind as much. It's kind of peaceful for me to attend church by myself, but I definitely don't mind company. There was a Easter dinner for students afterward and I met some new people, which was pretty cool.
Family always comes first. Yeap. Can't replace those people. Your friends are there for you in the mean time, though, of course. =]
Happy Easter!
P.S. I totally splurged on sweets today 'cause I gave it up for Lent. Gah. So bad. Haha.
