Thanksgiving Break!

Hey Everyone!

NDMU's Thanksgiving Break is officially underway! I have my internship in the morning, and I'm trying to complete all of my assignments before the holiday, so my break probably won't actually start till Thanksgiving day but that's okay! I'll still get four days of relaxation and family! Speaking of family, my dad really likes Charlie Brown, so here's a little holiday cheer to throw your way. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving this year!

Weekend out in Baltimore

This weekend I went out with some friends to celebrate my birthday! I love being so close to downtown, there's always a lot of fun things to do! Here's a picture of my boyfriend & I:

Blog world, meet Dave! Just because you're a women's college student doesn't mean you won't have time to meet boys! (I am an example of this). ESPECIALLY because we are in such a big collegetown, which I talked about in my last post.

I think last weekend will be my last time for fun in a while. As the end of the semester draws closer it feels like everything is due around the same time! Time management skills will be something I'll be using a lot of until finals! I hope everyone had a good start to their week!

Also, don't forget! It's our Fall Preview Overnight this Thursday & Friday!!! Make sure to visit campus for an overnight visit full of information sessions, classes, campus activities, and hanging out with current students! :)

Baltimore Collegetown Network

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

We had a Student Ambassador meeting today with a special guest from The Baltimore Collegetown Network. I don't know if many of you know but NDMU is a part of this organization along with 13 other schools locally in the Baltimore region. I think being a women's college in Baltimore adds so much more to your college career because you have to opportunity to interact with so many other college students! I learned today that there are 120,000 college students in Baltimore! You get the best of both worlds, a small community here at Notre Dame and the opportunity to use the resources at so many other schools. There's also a FREE shuttle that takes you to the local colleges, as well as downtown, and shopping destinations close by! Find out more by visiting their website: http://www.baltimorecollegetown.org/ (They're also on Facebook if you search "Baltimore Collegetown")

On another note, my 21st birthday was this weekend! I am going out to Power Plant Live downtown this Saturday with some friends to celebrate. I first have to get through this week of school work!

*Don't forget!!* We are offering an overnight visit event to campus next Wednesday into Thursday (17th into the 18th)! It's a great time to sit in on classes, get a tour of the university, hang out with current students, and see what life is like at Notre Dame! :)

Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone had a great time last night! :) Here's a picture of some of the actives and pledges this semester! We had a pasta dinner party.

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!
