Whoa, April…

by Alumni Posts April 20, 2011

Where did April go? Easter break is so late this year that after this three-day week—Fontbonne cancels classes for the Thursday and Friday of Easter weekend—there will only be one more week, which will also be cut short by Fontbonne Day, a day of service but no classes. What this means for students is that [...]

Scary Weather

by Angela April 20, 2011

Hello, Fontbonne, I just wanted everyone to be alert and be careful with the latest round of spring storms we have coming. According to a lot of newscasters this is going to be very severe and come out of nowhere. Be sure to be prepared to take shelter. I’m not sure how it works in [...]

Fresh and Clean

by Marielle March 24, 2011

Spring Cleaning: some people love it; some people hate it, but it’s hard to deny that there is something in the spring air that makes us want to shake off the dust and embrace the freshness. However, spring cleaning can also be associated with rubber gloves, volatile chemicals, and overpowering smells of ammonia. Don’t let [...]

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…

by Alumni Posts March 17, 2011

I’m  so excited to finally get out of production mode for a while and soak up some of this seventy-degree weather! What’s even better…I got a lovely surprise of flowers from my husband this afternoon to commemorate this glorious [...]

Weather

by Angela March 15, 2011

I hope for those of you who are not from St. Louis that this strange weather is not getting you down. I will say that the snow yesterday was winter’s last hoo-rah! Spring will bolt in quickly, and we will all be able to pull out our flip flops and put the boots and coats [...]

I’m Confused

by Courtney February 17, 2011

It’s so weird to think that this is still February. We have literally gone from freezing temperatures to above-average highs in a matter of days. Today, I woke up at 5:30, checked the current temperature at 6:00, got dressed at 6:15, and was out the door on my way to school by 6:30. I thought [...]

Tennis Season is Here!

by Alumni Posts February 10, 2011

I’m ecstatic. Uncontrollably happy. Why? Tennis season is here! I don’t know how to explain the incredible sense of elation I get from playing tennis. Something about being on the court, about the quick movements and the skillful swings, the sounds of the ball off of a racket… something about the whole medley of the [...]

Back in Full Swing

by Alumni Posts February 3, 2011

It’s the end of week 2, and… wow. We’re already back in full swing. This shouldn’t be surprising, when you think about it. There’s only 16 weeks or so per Fontbonne semester, so we don’t have a whole lot of time to spare. But even so, I feel like there’s usually a slow acceleration into [...]
