Meg left for IU last Monday and was hoping that she would be able to connect with more people this semester. In the fall she had several friends test positive for COVID 19 and even more that had to quarantine due to exposure. Meg was diligent about wearing a mask and social distancing to avoid the risk of contracting the virus. She didn't want to pass it on to those at Bell Trace and she also didn't want to have to quarantine at Ashton dorm. Her efforts worked well as she was able to avoid getting sick, but it did limit her social activities.
Thankfully, the start of the spring semester has been drastically different for her. Since she's been vaccinated and the positivity rate in Bloomington is well below 2%, she hasn't had to worry as much about social activities. She's only been back one week and she's already been able to do more than she did all of October. She's met multiple friends at the Union to study or just catch up. She met with her Bible study leader in person and this weekend was able to attend Seek, a catholic education conference for college students. Every night she has filled me in on the key note speakers that she had listened to during the day and the fellowship that she had experience. She was proud to let her Dad know that she had attended a Latin mass and had learned that Pope John Paul II liked to kayak. The best part of the week was when Meg texted me last night to let me know that she was having so much fun. I was so glad to hear that and couldn't have been happier for her.
