halfway through my college career?
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
So sorry about the delay..as always, things are crazy here at Albright. Let me see if I can update you with some of the highlights! :)
Hmm..alright, well, last week was a HUGE weekend for Albright! On Sunday night we held our annual Scholarship dinner-great people, great talents, and great FOOD! It was a whole lot of fun! I got the privledge of meeting a TON of the incoming (hopefully) freshmen for next year. Boy, are some of these people TALENTED! I love hearing all their involvements and achievements! It's always encouraging to hear just what sort of things incoming freshmen can bring in for the college. [If you're a prospective student reading this out there, DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS SCHOOL FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!! They care SOO MUCH about you here! FREE MONEY is a GREAT thing! PLUS, you get treated to this FANTASTIC CATERED dinners-and let me tell you..between that special chicken, bliss potatos, and carrot cake...oh, they have got some GOOD FOOD!
So, Sunday night was a whooole lot of fun..but it didn't stop at dinner! You see, a BUNCH of my friends, especially those living in Mohn Hall (the honors dorm) had the opportunity to host an "overnight"-a prospective student who was interested in seeing what "life at Albright College is REALLY like!" It was AWESOME!! Get this..out of ALL people, i actually had my ROOM-MATE'S sister! She is the SWEETEST thing! I love her!!! Actually, we all ended up having a "game night" Sunday..about 20 of us went down to the lounge floors and we ended up playing Cranium's Pop 5 and Apples to Apples..SO MUCH FUN! We made smores and then played "have you ever.." (a keeper for college)..it was an AMAZING night!! :)
hmmm...wow, that's a mouthful in itself, but since then, a ton of things have happened. It was midterm week her at Albright, so there were a lot of crazy people studying left and right (unfortunately for me, my midterms continue to next week)..and aside from the normal test and project crunch, everyone is HIGHLY anxious for spring break (9 days in counting, I believe).
Classes are fantastic..I'm so in love with my psychology close relationships class-the topics are SOOO RELEVANT and sooo interesting. I'm almost done my education art class (we'll be switching to music after spring break). Education Scienece is going...I'll be teaching the "class" a lesson the day we return from spring break. hmm..ohh, in Psychology 300 (my research and statistics class), I'll be beginning testing actual Albright College students on an experiment I designed myself! :) That should be exciting! Oh yes, and my holocaust class is well...holocaust class. Yesterday I was pretty excited..I had the class at night (6:30pm-9:00pm)..we were watching a movie..I ended up sleeping for about 20 minutes of it..I watched all the "major points"..then he let us out of class an hour early!! It was brilliant!!
Hmm..in terms of events...Albright is having a HUGE BONFIRE TONIGHT..which should be a lot of fun. I hope we get to roast marshmallows. YUMM! lol. ACF has been ROLLING-we're really excited about our 24-7 prayer room that we just painted...it's orange..and soon (in April) we're doing a campus-wide "cleaning staff appreciation day" where the students get to work hand-in-hand with the cleaning staff here to show JUST HOW MUCH we actually appreicate their work! It's gonna be awesome, we're so excited! :)
OH! ANDDDD..on Tuesday, I just registered for the Albright Woods Appartments!! I'm totally excited-three of my best girlfriends and I will be living in C4..it's perfect! Good condition..nice balcony..right near the campus path, right across from the laundry rooms. Oh, I CAN'T wait! :)
Ahh, alright y'all...I've written a TON!! Thanks for reading!! :) You can always send me comments or emails! Hope to see you around campus soon! It's dinner timeee..... :)
In His love,
Melissa :)
