First Week おわり

Staphon Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

So the first week of school was amazing! All my classes are looking challenging yet fun (what else can you expect from the Graphic Design Major?) Chapel 1 and 2 were great! I always enjoy President John Wallace’s speeches, they simply make me want to be a better person! This year, I definitely want to get SALTY! (Yeah Smith Hall!) If anyone missed it, they should definitely watch it online! And for Chapel 2, I absolutely love that our Professors announce to us all in a kind of oath that they will do their best to help us in our scholarly journey’s this year.

Going on, I also had a lot of fun with my residents this week, I can feel our community growing bit by bit all the time. Apples to Apples was great, along with randomly watching the Lost Room! However, I am truly excited to see the creative level of my building once the rest of them tell me what T stands for! So far, T stands for “Thizzle” which absolutely brought rolling excitement in the form of laughter out when I saw the video I got from a few of my residents! (Good Job Girls!)Azusa From Garcia

Men's Track team on GarciaMy weekend was very busy however. It started on Saturday with a captains practice at 7am consisting of a hike up Garcia Trail. The view was amazing! Our Track team is looking really good this year, I am definitely excited! They are all pretty classy, if I do say so myself.

Then it was time for work. This year I am the Media and Design Manager for IMT Student Services, so I was the MOD this weekend (Manager On Duty) and so I was in the office for long periods of time on Saturday and Sunday working on all the various computers that have come in since school started. I like working with this section of the school that makes sure the students have their most needed tool in order to be a successful student (and if any of you readers are perspective students or parents of perspective students, I will say this, “A New Computer Is Necessary for College!” )

I also made sure to keep up with Project 21 (which is located on my website: Staphon.com) with a near miss on Saturday, but I got it done at 11:30, just in time!

Whelp, tis all for this week! It is Monday now and so far, all is going pretty well! I’ll keep you posted on anything exciting!

Cheers!

What a week!

Hey Blog Readers! It’s Ellie and I’m soooo excited to be back blogging this year talking about the undergrad experience, now from the eyes of a sophomore (which, have you know it… means wise fool… which I might have to write about at a later date). These first few weeks of getting settled in and starting classes have been a whirlwind, but I’ve been so so so blessed with encouraging mentors, challenging and enlivening professors, a RA who basically rocks my socks, and my roommates who, honestly, I almost get choked up about how blessed I feel to have them as the people I share life and a home with for this year. So I made a little video to just show a little bit of my life right now. Sooooo here it goes!
