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 […]
Disorientation, Orientation – September Newsletter from Argentina
Disorientation, Orientation Where do I even begin? The last two months of my life — from Mexico to Marshfield and from Chaska to Chicago to Buenos Aires — have been filled with more than I feel like I could ever hope to interpret, and I’ve really only just begun. But what a paradox it is […]
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 […]
May 9th Update
I returned last week from a fabulous couple of weeks in France! As our big seminar, the six YAGM Americans in Slovakia spent three days in Paris followed by an incredible week at the monastery in Taize. For those who don’t know what Taize is, it is an ecumenical community of about 100 brothers which […]
