Happy MLK Day

Hello world,

This week, my mom and sister observed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with me! Although Carleton doesn’t have the day off, I don’t have class on Mondays this term. I was incredibly grateful that they took the time to drive down here – 2 hours round trip, probably more with the snow – and see me!

We spent the morning doing homework in Brick Oven Bakery. We talked about current events while driving around, and made a trip to Target and the Co-op so I could stock up on some snacks and groceries.

I got a couple of Arkansas Black Apples – I’ve never seen these before! And, for dinner, my mom took us out to the Ole Store.

The last time I had a steak in Northfield was probably two winters ago, also at the Ole Store, as a pre-Midwinter Ball outing 🙂 We had to take the shuttle to St. Olaf, then get off and walk to the restaurant.

And, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contemporaries, I leave you with a quote that is keeping me going this week:

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

Stay warm!
