Sunday's barbeque was a great way to kick off senior week.  The enthusiasm from the faculty band, Love Insurgency added to everyone's excitement about graduation and, most importantly, not having to do anymore work.  This week is going to be pretty awesome because there is sooooo much to do!  There's a faculty student bbq, white water rafting trip, FYP (First Year Program) reunion, Quad Experience II, Beer and Wine Social, canoeing and so much more.

Last night after squash practice I made my way down Route 11 toward Potsdam to catch the Women's Hockey team battle our arch rivals, Clarkson University.

I finally have all my classes in order and I'm pleased that I'll be ending on a good note. I'm taking the following classes this semester:

Prior to Saturday I had never attended a Swimming & Diving event before.

Tonight I attended the 87th Annual Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols in Gunnison Memorial Chapel.

Now that I’m back at school I’m faced with a number of responsibilities as the semester comes to an end on December 19.  While I’m practicing for squash matches against Hamilton and Franklin Marshal this weekend I will also be preparing for final exams.  Today I met with my Advanced Fiction professor and went over my final project.  Each student in our class was able to submit

On Friday November 21st the Men's and Women's Squash teams traveled to Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York for the Liberty League Tournament. The Men were defeated in a 9-0 match against Rochester who is ranked 5th in the country and were able to beat Vassar (9-0) and Hobart (8-1) coming 2nd in the tournament.

Just a week ago the theatrical production of Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl debuted in Gulick Theatre. The story uses a modern approach to the famous Greek myth, Orpheus. Directed by Professor Kirk Fuoss and performances from very talented St. Lawrence students I was impressed by the imagination, hard work, and time that was put into the play. It most certainly paid off! Bravo to those that were part of the production!

This past Monday I walked into town and tried my luck at bingo. Every Monday night at 7pm local residents gather at the community center to chat with friendly faces, enjoy salty snacks, and await the final number that will complete their Kite Diagram and yell.

This past Monday I flew back from my sisters wedding in Carmel, California. Let me tell you, what a blast! I can't believe my sister has a husband now AND not only that but I have yet another brother. That makes four!
