Is March almost over?
Long time no....blog.
Hey guys. I seem to have forgotten about my blog for the last couple of weeks, but never fear I am back at it and blogging like crazy once again! March has been a good month. It is the month with spring break, so it has to be good, right? The weather is getting nicer, the days are getting longer, and spring is here!
Break
Spring break was last week. I didn't do anything exciting like go to Florida or anything; I just went home to Pipestone to spend some time with my family...and my dog! It was GREAT to just have some time off from class, work, club meetings, and just do nothing for a few days. I did have to go the dentist while I was home though...that was the only downside. Easter was great. I have a lot of aunts and uncles on my dad's side of the family and we always get together on holidays. I have twelve cousins on that side, all of which are guys. It is pretty crazy! Easter is the holiday where we take the annual "Cousin Picture." It is great to see how everyone has changed over the years. We stand in the exact same order each year. It's just a little tradition we have.
Six weeks and counting...
I can NOT believe that there are only six weeks left of class! I think it will be a busy six weeks though. I have a lot of group projects, papers, and presentations to do this half of the semester. Sometimes it makes me feel a little overwhelmed, but I just think that summer break is right around the corner! I better start to figure out what I am going to do over the summer...
Well that's about all I have to report for tonight. Have a great week!

THE HUNT IS ON!
Heritage Week 2008
It's Heritage Week here at UST, and the highlight of the week is the St. Thomas Medallion Hunt! Every night at midnight a new clue comes out to students, faculty, and staff through our campus bulletin. Students run from the library with clues in hand in search of the two inch paper weight worth $300 to the bookstore. It may not sound like a lot, but it is A LOT of fun! This year the hunt has been really hard, and tonight is the last clue meaning that it will be really easy and will basically say where it is. It is going to be a race to the finish! My friend Bridget and I go out hunting for it each night at midnight. I may sacrifice some sleep, but the excitement is too much! You can check out the clues up to last night by clicking here.
Res Life Event in the Books
Tonight was the Residence Life Event. Over 800 prospective students and families came to campus to check out our residence (res) halls. I gave two tours to groups of guys and their parents who were interested in living on campus next year. It was fun, and hopefully they got some of their questions answered about living on campus.
SPRING BREAK....almost
We only have one more week of class and then it is spring break! It is hard to believe that this semester is already half over! Wow! It's weird I guess because I really haven't had too many assignments or papers due. My classes this semester are pretty 'back ended' meaning the bulk of the grading is in the second half of the semester...which makes life just peachy because you have so much stuff due at the same time. Ahhh...college.
Well it's getting closer to midnight and I need to strategize about where the medallion is! I'll let you know how it turns out. Have a great weekend!
