Lent

Lent is the 40 day liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. The 40 days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan. This year, since we do go to a Jesuit university, we have all decided to properly recognize Lent after years of neglecting such a momentous religious event.

Natalie is showing a lot of self-control by giving up studying during Lent. No more Indian Law, Contracts, or Constitutional Law. It's just Grey's Anatomy for the next 40 days around here.


Katie is making quite a large sacrifice during Lent and will be giving up running. Her coach (and waistline) won't be happy, but Jesus will.


Mike is also observing Lent, and will not be eating vegetables until Easter. Surprisingly, he doesn't look like he is having too hard of a time with it.


What are YOU giving up for Lent?

The best foraging find yet!

That's right. As if life couldn't get any better, they are now making meerkat cereal!

Meerkat Mike no longer has to forage for scorpians and millapedes. Hooray!
