Happy Holidays!
Friday — the first day of finals is upon us. Unfortunately for me, I did not use Reading Day to the best of my advantage, a.k.a. I only studied for about two hours but managed to watch at least four movies. The good news is that my first final/paper due date is not until Monday. […]
Countdown to Turkey Day…
Well, I have a countdown at least (9 days!). After a fairly relaxing week last week, I’m back at it with major projects and/or tests due in each class before Thanksgiving break. Hmm…perhaps I should be writing a paper instead of a blog, but everyone needs a little break, right? I’m sure every Gustie is […]
Every vote counts…
It’s Election Day! I hope all you Gusties remember to vote. There’s really no excuse not to since the College Dems were kind enough to sponsor free rides to the polls all day. And it’s super easy to register — just bring your GAC ID. Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox before I start telling […]
Things I am celebrating…
1. A wonderfully refreshing long weekend. 2. The completion of my last midterm and the fact that none of them were too disastrous. 3.  Taking the GRE yesterday and doing decently well even though I was a complete wreck the entire four hours. 4.  A beautiful day/Fall in general! 5. The upcoming Halloween weekend and the last home football game. 6. […]
So much to do, so little time…
Midterms, midterms…as unbelievable as it is, this is the first semester ever at Gustavus that I have had midterms in every one of my classes. This week feels just like finals except I still have to go to class and I only get a two-day break afterward. But, hey, at this point I’ll take what I […]
Nobel Conference
Well, the Nobel Conference was a success yet again. The theme, “Medicine: Prescription for Tomorrow,” was certainly a popular one judging by the filled-to-capacity hockey rink and people seemed to really enjoy all of the speakers. I got to work at the conference on Tuesday and, despite the chaos, managed to hear most of each […]
The Career Center is my new best friend
Just a quick little post because frankly that is all I have time for this week. I just got back from the Employee Information Day sponsored by the Career Center, and it was a very surreal experience. Mainly the words “graduation,” “career” and “future” being used repeatedly makes me a bit nervous. I’m not positive […]
I Love Fall!
Two weeks of class down and 12 to go, not that I’m counting. At any rate, these first days of school have passed so quickly — not to mention the last three years — and I know the rest of the semester will fly by as well. As a senior, I’m torn between wanting this […]
