February in Review!

Ah. I've been pushing off on my responsibilities on this little blog for far too long. One event after another has compounded to make these past few days the busiest of my second semester. This up and coming week, for example, is the week before my first break, meaning that I've a number of papers in Sociology, Philosophy, and some exams in French, Comparing States, and Religion. I was able to do most of the predatory work during Friday and Saturday of this past weekend, so now I can take at least a short breath and relax myself a little.

Currently watching the hockey game between Canada and the USA... Overtime!... It's cutthroat right now, very exciting... and Canada won. Well, nobody can say that we didn't give them a very hard, well-fought fight. The game was exciting, a good game, and I simply wish the outcome had been different. No matter, the United States still managed to win the most medals. How does that old saying go? Americans love a winner and cannot tolerate a loser? Hah. I'm proud of the performance. Ryan Miller really shined. Well done.



Ah. With that nonsense over with, I now get to focus on the remaining days before my vacation. So much to do, and so little time to do it. I was able to talk to my closest friends during these past few days, and that's always cheered me up. I miss them, and I hope I can see some of them soon. I hope this week ends swiftly.

The Second Week of February!

I neglected an entry last week because little of any note took place. This week, however, may prove to be interesting.

Apparently I'm doing well enough at Stonehill to merit a chance to join the Honor's Program starting next year. I need to write a 500 word essay about something in print that affected me. That should be interesting. I also need to get a letter of recommendation from a professor I had in my first semester. I'm trying to decide between an English professor and my Contemporary America history professor. Leaning toward the history professor. I've gotten the green light from a lot of people, whole others have cautioned I don't put too much on my plate. I'm yearning for a challenge, and I think I more than make the cut for Stonehill's best, so I'm going to give it a try. I'm such a nerd; getting excited over academics.

Up here in Easton we're supposed to be hit with quite a bit of snow, and the talk of the campus is that classes may be canceled. If so, that would make my week THAT much sweeter. This weekend is going to be busy as I'll be dealing with the tedious, blood-pressure-rising issues of scholarships and student financial services. Buahaha.

I leave you with a quote:
"I cannot be King. You and you alone can rule Scotland." Yes, Josh, that's right. There can be only one.
