Homesick
Homesick is my current mood. The oddest feeling in the world is feeling homesick while you’re at home. I might as well even change my current Facebook status to Kayleigh Omang is “feeling homesick” – in West Fargo, North Dakota. After I do that though, the funny thing is everyone will comment asking how I can be homesick when I am at home.
Well, I’m so proud to say that I now have two homes: one in West Fargo and the other in Duluth. When I moved there last December and started college at St. Scholastica, I never thought I would settle in so quickly. The one only bummer is that when I’m in one city, I’m homesick for the other!

![Happy #LibraryShelfieDay! Did you know that the current location of the library used to be a chapel? Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel was built in the Romanesque architectural style in 1938. The Library was originally on the first floor, with the Chapel above. A major renovation occurred in 1986, when the Chapel and the Library exchanged places. The tall ceilings of the Chapel were divided into three floors. It is very intentional that the chapel and library share a building. As Sister Joan Braun is quoted as saying at the Library’s renovation dedication, “Medieval libraries were housed near the Church; St. Scholastica's library is now housed above the place of worship. I would like to suggest to you that this location has a rational relationship as well as a symbolic one. In the library, we seek knowledge; in the chapel we seek wisdom which builds on knowledge.” #LibraryShelfieDay #sceniccampus #OurLadyQueenofPeaceChapel #knowledgeandwisdom #community #hospitality #history [image description: gallery of pictures of the third floor of the library]](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/81816015_2299685423658122_7248612442383716658_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=DK3Jxuv0YOUAX9a65E6&oh=728ca206cc11e0684e79509ecc351740&oe=5EC54796 "Happy #LibraryShelfieDay!
