I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! I have had the time of my life this semester, and I feel like there is something excitng going on every weekend. On Saturday, NOVEMBER 14, 2009, I went to the St. Louis Zoo with the freshmen Presidential Scholars. We had an AMAZING time. But why do I stress [...]
When I was growing up, I considered myself a rink rat. My sister and I figure skated and my brother played hockey. If I wasn’t at school, you would find me at our local ice arena. Since high school (when I quit skating), I’ve felt a small void in my life. But NOW, my life [...]
TOURS! (And being a tour guide, of course!) Today, just like every Monday and Friday at noon, I gave a tour to prospective students. I only had three families to give a tour to, and it made their visit that much more special. I’m known as the “Queen of Random Facts” by some tour guides. [...]
Just when you think SLU couldn’t get any better, it does! This weekend was AMAZING! SLU always has a wonderful homecoming weekend, but this one surpasses all the rest!
On Friday, we had an amazing concert with Sam and Ruby, The Maine and Eric Hutchinson. It was a REALLY good concert! Even better, the forecast said [...]
I can’t believe I’m already a senior! It seems like just yesterday I was a freshman searching for all of my classes.
My schedule is completley FULL! While I have no spare seconds to sit and relax, I find my time filled with fun-filled learning! My classes are, like PBS says, “fun and educational.” I’m taking [...]
I promised I would fill you in on what my life was like this summer. And guess what? The time is NOW.
Alaskan Cruise - My family, boyfriend and I went on a seven day Alaskan Cruise. Our ports included Seward (my favorite!), Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point. I can’t even begin to describe [...]
Everyone says that summer is a time for students to relax and regain sanity after a year’s worth of school work. It’s also known as a break. I’ve never been good with “down time”. I know I’ve sporadically described my summer. But now that I’M FINALLY DONE with my summer classes, what do I have [...]
Summer is supposed to give students time to relax and wind down. My summer has been a little different. After closing down the Griesedieck Complex, I came home. About ten days later, I hopped on a plane to Alaska. Eight days later, I hopped on a plane back to Chicago. A week after that, I [...]
I did it: I drove twenty-four hours in two days. It was a wonderful cause, though. I got to see my best friends from London! On Saturday, I drove down to Saint Louis and picked up my friend Megan. After another five hours of driving, I made it to my previous roommates farm! We surprised [...]
Okay, I must admit it. I am the world’s worst blogger. I’m sorry I haven’t written in so long…I can’t even tell you how busy I’ve been. Tomorrow is my last physics test. Once I’m done with that I can write a nice long post and tell you everything you don’t care to know and [...]
