My mood= energetic

 Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Hello!

Current location: Lehy study rooms with Brittany finishing up a philosophy paper.

So i’ve had a pretty eventful weekend and I’m ready to tell you all about it.

On Saturday I went to the basketball game since it was homecoming weekend. The entire game was sold out and we played the #1 seed Bucknell. There was also a nice little ceremony honoring the top three basketball alumni. The games are always pretty fun, but this game was super intense and close. It turns out we lost by four points, but it was a really exciting game (especially when a student dressed as a giant yellow Big Bird got hit in the head with the ball). My friends and I went to Kballs after the game. Kimball had a new dessert, which continued my excitment from the game. The raspberry lemon bread pudding may be my new favorite dessert. Props to Kimball for stepping it up this semester.

After dinner my friends and I got ready and went out. We started off in Loyola, then went to Alumni (both junior dorms), then headed off campus. It had a ton of fun and managed to yet again meet more new people!

Sunday morning I was back at Kimball at 10:30. I guess you can say I enjoy Kballs because I spent two hours there! Sometimes people watching and talking gets the best of my friends and I.

Anyways, I had no homework on Sunday (such a rarity) so I went to the theatre department’s spring play with my friend Matt. The play was a musical called the Drowsy Chaperone and  featured  my good friends Jon and Suzanne. The Drowsy Chaperone was comedy/musical set in the 1920’s. I have to say i was impressed. I’ve never been to a play on campus and I’m definitely glad i went!

After the play I grabbed some lunch at Crossroads, headed to the library for a bit, then went to church with Brittany. We’ve both vowed to make more of an effort to go to church this semester. I felt instantly better after going to church today so I’m starting off my week on a high note!

–XoXo

New Semester= New Opportunities

 Sunday, February 6th, 2011

Hi Guys!

Being back on the Hill from break has been amazing. Going home for break always makes the first few weeks back extra exciting.

So what have I been up to exactly?

Well we just had our first full week of class and I can say I really like my classes this semester. Each semester is different depending on your course load and I think I have a good balance this semester. I have a little bit of everything between philosophy, computer programming, and two lit courses. I particularly like my computer science class. We are learning how to write computer programs in a computer language called Python. Cool right? The work isn’t too bad yet either considering we’ve only had one full week so that means I’ve had extra time for socializing.

Besides classes, I’m applying to be a tour guide (yet another way I can work in the Admissions Office) and I’ve been trying to make as many new friends as possible. What I like so much about new semesters is that it makes it really easy to make new friends in class or in general. Everyone has new schedules so you see people you have never seen before. Hello Kimball dates with new friends.

…speaking of Kimball they’ve made some new changes such as converting the ice cream bar to dinner and offering more vegetarian options, which i like. Yay for Kimball!

Anyways we have been getting TONS of snow. Not going to lie, walking to class has been pretty brutal with all the stairs and hills but somehow we manage. At least I had a snow day last Wednesday. Both of my teachers cancelled class.

All in all I’m happy to be back. So far this semester has been the best yet so i can only predict that it will keep getting better.

-Sarah
