It is a busy time at St. Lawrence as we prepare for thanksgiving break. I just finished taking an exam and now it's on to writing papers for my other classes. The past week has been very busy here as everyone is trying to tie up loose ends before we all leave for thanksgiving break.

Greetings!

Happy November!

 Greetings from Canton!!

Greetings!

It's Monday and everyone just returned form mid semester break. Last week everyone was hustling around campus studying for mid-terms, submitting papers, and trying to get everything accomplished before the break began. 

The nights are cooling, the leaves are falling, and it frosted this morning! It's Monday again and I'm studying for yet another mid-term exam, this time in Global Studies. It's my last one and will be very relieved when Wednesday comes marking the start of Mid-Semester Break! The library is full, everyone is studying, and the pub might be running out of coffee. Yet, in the midst of a stressful time on campus, the leaves continue to change more everyday, and are starting to accumulate on the ground.

This week has been beautiful as the leaves are peaking all over the Adirondacks!! Last weekend I did a short hike up Cascade and Porter. There were a lot of people on the trail and it was a beautiful day to get outside. This week was fairly busy with school as the first round of exams are starting up. Things at the Greenhouse are going along very well, this is our last week of dinners for this rotation of guests and will be signing up more people for the next five weeks starting on the 4th of October. 

Hello Again!

Greetings!! This is my first official blog entry! I can't believe that another summer is over and we have returned to the beautiful North Country. I was happy to return to school and friends after being gone for the spring semester studying abroad in Kenya. I spent the summer in Maine working in a hut system through the western mountains. I was welcomed once again for my second semester of living in the Greenhouse located on Park Street. Living here our goal is to live as sustainably as possible while educating this lifestyle to the St. Lawrence Campus.
