spring semester

Wow. I can hardly believe we’re already a few weeks into the spring semester at Fontbonne. So much has happened already, and the time has flown by. Just this week there was something exciting every day.

My Monday’s this semester are packed full of classes all day and night, but Tuesday the Griffin Girls began working on one of the last dances for this year, the Guy/Girl Dance. This Wednesday, all the dancers will be joined by Fontbonne guys in a dance during halftime. This year we’re bringing back our childhood with a late 90′s mix of songs. Trivia nights are also happening Tuesday nights at Fontbonne, which excites my competitive side. Two weeks ago, my team won 1st place, but received 2nd last week. We’ll get ‘em next time! After all our hard work Tuesday night, we congratulated ourselves with free pancakes at IHop and they were delicious! A late night breakfast was just what I needed with exhaustion setting in too early in the week. Wednesday was much needed quality time with my roommate. Griffin Girls has kept me extremely busy this semester so far, but I was able to watch the season premiere of our favorite show, Smash, with my roommate. To anyone interested in Broadway musicals I highly recommend watching. The show is amazing!

Today was yet another day filled with homework, class, and dance. I have to admit I am exhausted, but thrilled with all that’s happening this semester. Hopefully this weekend is one that is both productive and relaxing! Thanks for reading!

Until next week..

“Welcome Back!” It’s a very common phrase I’ve heard when I came back to school a few weeks ago. I feel so excited that I just started my spring semester, which is also my second semester at Fontbonne. Even though it was so cold outside, student and staff are still so friendly to say “hello” to me.

For this new semester, I’d like to share a quote from Mother Teresa, to encourage you and me: “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” I will keep my smile when I see you on campus. Welcome back, my dear friends. Let us celebrate it with lovely smiles!

So, as the ball gets rolling on second semester it can be easy to get caught up with all the commotion.With school, sports, work, and everything else it can be hard to find time to sit back and relax!

I encourage you to keep your head up and keep going. Take a walk, hit up the next F.A.B. event, read a good book, or maybe even take a 30 min. nap to revive yourself. Not only will you feel good after the act, but then you can enjoy the time that you spend doing the “real” work.

Smiling gives off endorphines that keep your body in check soooo remember to smile!!!

Well, it’s the second week back, and I hope everyone is getting into the swing of things.

For me, that means Environmental Club! And for Environmental Club, that means promoting our activities for the spring semester. I won’t give everything away, but I will throw in a plug for our next major event – and since it lasts 8 weeks, it really is major!

What I’m talking about is RecycleMania, which is a competition between colleges across the country to see who can collect the most recyclable materials within the 8 week period from February 5th to March 31st. We dabbled in this for the first time last year, but this year we are hoping to make a bigger splash. We will be weighing our recycling containers each week to report our numbers, and the Environmental Club will be posting the results on our bulletin board.

Regardless of whether we win our division, hopefully we can get Fontbonne fired up to do some major recycling!! :)
