LAST POST

This semester sure was a crazy one. There were ups and there were downs. And even though the downs were pretty tough, many people were there to support me. Because of this, I got to know many of my friends on a more personal level and made many new friends.  However, I am so unbelievably sad that I had to say goodbye to my senior friends. Since I am going abroad next semester, I may never see some of them again. I know I was eventually going to have to say goodbye, but I’m not ready. I wish we could all stay in college forever!! I am thankful that two of my good friends will be living in Burlington this summer and next year, so I may live with them or, at least be able to see them. And as for my roommates, I am obviously sad to leave them as well, but they’ll be living with me when I return for senior year!

Before I left, my roommates and I took a group picture at the antique shop on Church Street! It was so FUN! They let us run around the shop and pick out all of our costumes! And then the lady set us up for three different scenes and took our pictures! Here is one of them!


Now to talk about something exciting! This January I leave for Australia! I will be studying sustainability and environmental action through SIT. It is a field study program so I will not be at a university, but rather staying at apartments, hostels, and camping! I hope to do a lot of hiking and swimming! You can read about my adventures on my study abroad blog!

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

This week was really stressful for me. My workload was pretty heavy. Besides reading and starting a research paper, I had to attend court and certain other meetings in order to do a project for my media law class. I also attended the performance of Macbeth at the Flynn for my Shakespeare class! Friday my best friend Emily from back home came to visit me! Her visit was the PERFECT stress releaser. I haven’t gone home to New Jersey since I have been at school this semester and no one has come up to visit. Thus, seeing someone from home was much needed! Saturday morning we drove to Stowe Pinnacle to hike! Originally I thought the weather was going to be bad, but it ended up being a beautiful day! Thought it was a bit muddy, it was not too windy or cold. There were many cute dogs accompanying people on their hikes. Two even wore small coats!   Once we got to the top, it was surprisingly very clear and obviously very beautiful! Emily and I took some pictures and had a snack before clim
