Lefse and Mate – November Newsletter from Argentina

Lefse and Mate Global Missions Newsletter for November by Justin Haaheim The days are passing both slowly and quickly here in Argentina. Sometimes I can hardly believe that I’ve been here almost three months now, but at the same time my memories from Minnesota in July and August seem like so long ago. Don’t worry, […]

Counting down the days

This weekend was so much fun. I am in the Lucia Singers, so I spent the weekend participating in Christmas in Christ Chapel. It was lots of work, since we all have to perform five times in three days, but it was also great times. My family all came on Sunday afternoon, so I got […]

Things to do in college

There is something of an unwritten list of items that one must do while in college. I’m not talking about “Graduate” “Make Dean’s List” “Make Friends”–those are the nice rather tame things that people will easily cop to. What I’m referring to is the need to do fun, rather non-academic things (I shan’t list them […]

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 […]

Olaf Week

There are two entities for which I can claim a rather thorough distaste for: the AS Roma soccer club and St. Olaf. More specifically with that MIAC school, it’s the swimming and diving squad that I cannot stand. Which is all rather ironic to me; I’m a diver and divers are not supposed to get […]

Summer days in November

I cannot believe how nice it has been outside these last few days. It was downright hot yesterday, and this is November! It is pretty nice not to have to wear my winter coat all the time yet. The rough draft of my senior political science thesis is due next Wednesday, and I feel pretty […]

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 […]

Catching up

When we last left our intrepid hero, he was bewailing the image of Gustavus. Now the nice thing about cold winds is that everyone bundles up and pretty really becomes secondary to warmth (at least it should be). As for me, I feel like I’m in a Sisyphian cycle. Whenever I accomplish one thing, another […]

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 […]
