I am 20 years old and from a family of 7 including myself. I have an older sister who got her undergraduate from Marquette and her masters from Nebraska. I have two younger brothers who are a freshman and senior in high school in Houston, Texas. I have a younger sister who is in the 2nd grade. I also have two parents. My whole family is living in Houston right now. At school I love hanging out with friends, relaxing, watching movies, playing and watching all sports, working out, and shopping. I work for the admissions office and the event staff at SNC. When I am not at SNC (which is not very often since I lived here this summer) I love to spend as much time with my family as possible. I hope you enjoy hearing about my year at SNC.

Staying Busy!

02/19/08 at 01:43:12 pm

Hey Guys! I hope everyone has been doing great since my last blog. I have
been extremely busy the past couple weeks. Last week I had two tests, one in
Media Ethics and the other was in Classical Sociological Theory. I was in the
library all week studying for them. It was worth it though, I ended up doing
pretty well on both of them. On top of the two tests, I have two papers due
in the next two weeks too. School has been so busy, but I can't believe we
are already into our 5th week of classes, and spring break is less than four
weeks away! On top of school I have still been coaching all the time. We are
16-3 right now, and have one game left against Green Bay Preble. Hopefully we
can finish the season at 17-3. I love coaching, but it has been so time
consuming. It will be really nice to have a little extra time when it ends
this week, but I know I will miss it a lot!

Yesterday Hillary Clinton was on campus too. It is pretty nice at SNC because
we get a lot of the presidential candidates here at school. Barack Obama's
wife was here last week, and Barack Obama was at UWGB last week, and then
yesterday Hillary Clinton came to SNC to speak. My professor let us out of
our class early so we could all attend the event. It was pretty awesome to
just be able to hear her speak, whether you are a fan or not. It was a free
event, and I got a pretty good seat too. It was good to hear her speak right
before the primary (which is today) happens.

This week also starts the first of six weeks I am working towards getting my
leadership certificate. I am a leadership minor, and one of my four classes
is my leadership capstone course. In the course we are strongly encouraged to
attend six meetings which works us towards getting a leadership certificate.
I am really looking forward to the meetings. Well that's all I really have
for now! I hope you all are doing great, and I will blog again later!

De Pere is a Winter Wonderland!

Hey guys!! It seems like it’s been awhile since I last wrote a blog. Since the last blog a lot has been going on with me and around school. First, classes started last Monday on the 21st of January. The beginning of the semester is always busy. It takes awhile to get back into the groove of things, and to figure out how to balance time with classes, studying, work, extra curricula activities, and of course relaxing!! This semester is going to be really hard academically I think. I am taking Social Geography (elective), Classical Sociological Theory (general education requirement), Leadership Capstone (minor), and Media Ethics (major). I think the sociology class I am taking for my GS10 is going be the hardest. On top of classes I have been busy working at the admissions office and I’m still coaching basketball. My team is 13-3 now, and we have 4 games left. We end towards the end of February.

This past weekend my mom and two sisters were in town for a couple of days. My older sister is getting married in April, and one of her bridal showers was in Green Bay on Saturday. It was so nice to be able to see them, and the shower was really nice. This weekend I am heading to Chicago for her bachelorette party, which goes from Friday until Sunday. It will be all of her friends from high school, college, and me that will be able to celebrate with her. There is so much to do in Chicago, so I know it is going to be a lot of fun! The really nice thing about going to SNC is that it is only about a three hour drive from here to Chicago, a two hour drive from here to Milwaukee, and about a two hour drive from here to Madison too. It’s so nice that you can get to any big city pretty easily if you need to.

This past week has been a winter wonderland in all of Green Bay and De Pere. Well I don’t know if I would call it a wonderland. There was a blizzard on Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning. On top of the snow it was about 30 below zero with the wind-chill. Today I think it’s about 15 below zero with the wind-chill. It is ridiculously cold outside! When it is like this outside it makes it so hard to walk to class, I just want to stay in my room all day and stay warm!

Well I better head out now; I hope you all are doing great! Talk to you soon 
