Sisterhood Retreat

Hi all!

This weekend me and my sisters from OPA had our sisterhood retreat! We normally try to make it an over night event but it was snowing in Baltimore on Saturday! Crazy to believe, I know. We normally don't get it THIS early in the year.. it was a fluke. Nothing stuck on campus, except to the cars a little but you could definitely see it in the sky from the Meletia balcony (which was right outside out window at retreat). Here's a picture of us working on an arts and crafts project:

Time to finish a little more homework and watch some Sunday Night Football! Hope everyone else has a fun weekend.

We had our annual Community Day this past Thursday:

This year's theme was "The Idea of a Catholic University." The event starts with a keynote speaker lecture in our auditorium, then we move into a community lunch in our dining hall. The food was very good and the conversations were fun and refreshing! Afterwards we were able to attend a small workshop of our choice. Each workshop tied into the overall theme of the day. I attended one that discussed the idea of the Notre Dame women. Then we ended up the day with a reception and some delicious cake! It's a great annual event here on campus that brings the campus community together, despite their major, academic area of expertise, or position in the administrative realm.


Over the weekend I participated in Maryland's Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Here's a view of 5k finish line:

I walked with some of my sisters from Omega Phi Alpha and was a part of the Team Notre Dame. It was a great day full of survivors, supporters, and pink.

Halloween on my mind..

Hello!

Tonight I've got Halloween on my brain.

I'm trying to figure out what to be! Me and my sisters from Omega Phi Alpha will be having a spaghetti "brains" dinner party on Monday night and we are all going to be festive and dress up! I also want to get a pumpkin this weekend.. Wait a minute, did I just have thoughts of THE WEEKEND?! It's only the middle of the week. Best get my brain to start focusing more on this reading I have to do for class! Tomorrow is Community Day so hopefully I will have pictures to post from that. I'm so excited!


Goodnight all!

Midterm Break

Hi Everyone!

Us Notre Dame women have a three day weekend because today is midterm break! Not for me though.. I had to go to my internship site this morning so I swung by school to get an afternoon of school work in at the library before my busy (but fun) weekend begins! I stopped for a second to snap a quick picture:

Notice my Ravens shirt! It's "Purple Friday" as we like to call it here in Baltimore. The Friday before every game during the NFL season many people dress up in their Ravens gear or purple to show their football support! Well, I'm heading back to study.. have a good weekend!

Thursday mini-update

Today is my last of classes and then I get to enjoy a three day weekend!! I have some homework but no where near as much as normal. Hopefully it will be a relaxing time. Wishing everyone a good end to their week. :)

Weekend Update!

Hello everyone,

This weekend was fun but definitely busy! Fall Open House went great! I loved seeing the excitement from all of the prospective students. Saturday night I went bowling with some of my sorority sisters in Omega Phi Alpha! Here's a picture of everyone after we were done:

I'm hiding in the back.. that's what you get for being tall!!

Then on Sunday, since the Ravens had a BYE week and weren't playing.. I traveled to New Jersey to see a band, Love and Theft perform. I've been a fan of them for a while so it was so great to see them again and catch up!

Now I'm sitting in the dining hall, where I just finished up eating my lunch. My classes start at noon today so it's back to the college grind! Hope everyone has a good week!

That is what I see every Wednesday and Friday morning at around 5:30. I mentioned in my bio that I am completing an internship at a radio station this semester but never got to explain it a little bit further. I work for the morning show; Mickey, Amelia, and Spiegel. I help out with production, dealing with a lot of sound bites, as well as audio and video editing. The best part is I'm getting credit for it! So you could say it's definitely my favorite "class" this semester.

You can complete an internship up to three times for credit here at NDMU!! (How awesome, right?!) We have an Academic and Career Center that offers great services to the students, one of them being internships! I have a class once a month, and at the end of the semester I will give a presentation on my experience.

Now I'm off to do homework. (Yes, on a Friday night! Because my Saturday and Sunday is already planned!) I hope to see some of you tomorrow morning for our Fall Open House!

So today was a beautiful day weather wise! I got an A+ on my history critique and a B on my ecology exam! AND it was two of my friends birthday's!! Wishing everyone else the same *small* happiness moments!

What's the story, morning glory?

Hello all! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Here's something I did this weekend!! ^ Yep, I baked a cake! Me and my friend Marianna used one of Notre Dame's kitchens (in the residence halls) to create this.. Cocoa Cola cake.. so good!

Now that the week has begun I will be running around like a crazy woman. I will try to remember to keep everyone updated though! Today I have a Student Ambassador meeting with the Admissions team and we are going over our Fall Open House which is THIS Saturday!! I hope to see some of you there. :)
