Sorry for the long wait of a new blog! My Christmas was very exciting and great. I got to spend some great quality time with my family and some friends. At Christmas, we had dinner at my house and then we opened our gifts. I got many great gifts, some movies, clothes and a nice blanket.

My favorite gift was my Nintendo Wii. I can't wait to bring it up to my room in the residence hall at MAC and play it with some friends. I also received some games with it. The great thing about the Wii is that you can connect to the internet wirelessly, which will come in handy at Mount Aloysius because we are a 100% wireless campus. I can check news stories, weather conditions around the globe, and can download old Nintendo games. It also plays all of my GameCube games, so I can still play all of my old favorites as well.

In a week, I will be heading to Mississippi with a bunch of Mount Aloysius students and staff members. We are going to be rebuilding some of the damaged homes and neighborhoods that were hit by Hurricane Katrina. I am looking forward to sharing this event with all of you...My family and I are heading out to see a movie, so I will chat a little more later.

Until Next Time,

John
