MOMENTS OF THE WEEK

The Saint Mike’s drama club presented a devised play called Ophelia this weekend. The members of the cast wrote the play in its entirety and then directed it within two months! This play was based on Hamlet, but focused on Ophelia. It was set in a modern time period and three new characters were added. It had humor and suspense. I enjoyed seeing the performance and was especially interested in the use of lighting and a projector! As a self proclaimed Shakespeare nerd, however, I wish that they had spoken in iambic pentameter. That would have made me happier!

This week my dad and brother came up to visit! My brother, Kristopher, was here to attend open house at University of Vermont and take a tour at Saint Mikes as well! And, I obviously took them for a hike on Friday! I cannot believe I hiked Stowe 3 times this semester, but anyway, I even skipped class to do it! Though it was a bit windy and snowy at the top, it was a beautiful view. Kristopher had never been on a real hike beforehand, so he really enjoyed himself. My dad, exhausted, had a blast as well, as it had been a long time since he had hiked anything.

MOMENTS OF THE WEEK

Happy Halloween! This past weekend was super fun! There were many festive on campus activities to take part of during the week and on the weekend!   I made my own costume Friday night and I could not have been more excited. It seems weird, but since last summer I knew exactly what I wanted to be… A Wacky Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man! Yes. I was one of those waving things you see at car dealerships. And, yes, I flailed and waved all night long. I actually got so into it, that I cannot move my neck now because I gave myself whiplash. L Anyway, here’s how I made it! First, I bought two pop-up hampers from Amazon. I cut off the bottom of one of them so I could fit inside both hampers when standing up. Then I used zip-ties to attach the hampers to each other since I cannot sew. Once attached, I covered and wrapped the hampers with a plastic tablecloth that I bought at Party City for a dollar using super glue! Next, I cut out holes for my arms (cutting through both the hamper an

MOMENTS OF THE WEEK

My first two weeks at Saint Mike’s have been very eventful!   Going forward, I will post every Monday to recap my week’s moments and memories. Since I am a Jersey girl from near the shore, I can only be away from the beach for so long. I visited both North Beach and Leddy Beach a few times since school started.   Both beaches are beautiful and typically fairly quiet. I will try to soak up the sun in the upcoming weeks as much as I can before it becomes fall!     I also attended the Champlain Valley Fair with my three roommates! I went on all of my favorite rides including The Zipper, The Gravitron, and The Ring of Fire! Of course, no fair experience would be complete without filling our mouths with fried food and ice cream! My favorite activity so far has been going cliff jumping with a bunch of my friends. And, it turns out when we got there, I knew about 20 other people from Saint Mike’s sitting in and around one of the pools! T

It’s that time of the year when almost EVERYONE is sick with a cold. I blame my roommate Emily for getting me sick. Now I feel like the baby in this GIF. I can’t stop sneezing and all I want to do is sleep, but I can’t because I have so many things to do. The reason I am sick is because I didn’t get much sleep all week. I had so much homework and a big test for my global communications class. This test required me to learn where all the countries in the world are! Honestly, when I began studying I realized I did not have any prior knowledge so it was very stressful and challenging to learn everything. However, I think I ended up doing really well! All of my late nights studying on Sporcle and printing out maps to write on paid off. This past Friday, the 30 th , was my roommate Kyrstin’s 21 st birthday!! While my roommates and I took her out to dinner, my other friends decorated our apartment and got the party set up. Then when we came home, everyone in our apa
