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 […]
The Image of Gustavus
If your head has not been in the sand for the last few weeks, you’d know that Gustavus was ranked as the sixth-fittest campus in the United States by Men’s Fitness. Well no wonder. The campus here is beset with a quasi-narcissistic demeanor that would lead to such a happening. No matter what time of […]
Windy days
The weather has been so funny these last few days here. And by funny I mostly mean cold and winter like. I couldn’t believe it yesterday when I actually saw snow coming down. Thankfully, none of it has been sticking or anything, and I think it is a little warmer today. I’m not sure that […]
Change Comes
Much has happened in the few days since I last wrote. Perhaps the most significant of which was finding that my door name-announcer thing had been vandalized with a homophobic slur at some point early Sunday morning. This was on the day before I was to give a homily for Coming Out Week in Chapel […]
Piles of Stuff
The theme of the last week or so has been “if I can survive until next Wednesday, I’ll be alright.” Right now everything in life is on a collision course that will reach its height from tomorrow through Wednesday. In a few hours I leave with the cross-country team for a meet hosted by Wartburg […]
Busy!
This week has gone really fast, which I think may be the ‘theme’ of my senior year! I spent a long time talking to one of my Political Science professors yesterday, as I am still trying to decide where I want to go after Gustavus. I am so grateful that my professors have been so […]
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 […]
Catchin’ Up Time
It has been a while since I’ve posted. I left Europe and arrived safely in Africa, but haven’t been able to post anything. Part of the problem was the program I am on. In my SIT course (South Africa: Multiculturalism and Social Change) we are exposed to many different lifestyles in South Africa. We stay […]
