Fun Fun Fun!

Hi Everyone! Busy, as usual, around here. Actually, this past week was fairly relaxing. I gave a presentation in a class on Monday. Tuesday I got my Vegetations Lecture midterm grade - I was happy with my score :) On Tuesday night there was a HUGE display of the northern nights, BUT...unfortunately I didn't get to really see them. 0 for 3 now in attempting to see them. I will see them up here at some point! On Wednesday I had my USG meeting, which is always interesting. I really enjoy it! The unfortunate part is that I missed seeing Garrison Keillor, who was on campus :(

Yesterday was a busy, but extremely fun, day. For most of the day I was at my USG (Undergraduate Student Government) retreat. It was held at the Mariner North in Copper Harbor. It was fun all around - the ride up and back, lunch, and just being with like-minded people. No big deal or anything, but any day you sit across the lunch table from the Vice President of your University is a good day. Then, a top of that, have a car ride (1.5 hours) with him. He is a real great guy. Look for pics!

After the retreat was Safehouse. Safehouse is when the residence halls decorate the hallways, either "fun" or "scary" and then the public can come through. If they go to the fun hallways they go "trick or treating." If they go to the "scary" hallways it is similar to a haunted house. I helped out with that by making sound effects for a scary hall. That was fun! Look for pics - warning, some are "scary"!

Then...yes, it was a full day...I went to the hockey game vs. Denver. On Friday we won 7-2! Last night we tied with them 2-2. Both games were good. Look for pics.

A few general things.....

- the weather has been quite nice, but somewhat all over the place, lately. Frost in the morning, scraping of vehicles, sunny clear days, and cool crisp fall evenings have all been in our recent past. Looking forward to some wacky weather! The only down turn of the weather changing is my nose bleeds :(

- I am planning to apply to LeaderShape. LeaderShape is a seminar for collegiate youth to go to in order to enhance their leadership abilities and help them see their strengths and weaknesses. Wish me luck! The application process for the seminar is pretty competitive (60 students total).

Wishing you all a happy Sunday!
