Hey Guys,

It’s coming down to the end of the semester and I have been buried in homework. It seems like I am in the library every night now finishing papers and projects for the end of the semester. The weather is really nice out now, which is making it harder to go do homework but it also makes school really fun. I have been able to play soccer and just hang out outside which is really nice. I wish that I could be here while it’s nice out a little longer but I am also looking forward to summer break. I am really looking forward to meeting up with all my friends from home it will be fun to go home for awhile but I think I’ll definitely miss SNC during the summer and all my new friends I’ve met this year. I am going to be really relived once I get all my finals over with but in the mean time I have a lot of studying to do. Talk to you guys later!

Hey Guys,

Well I am getting back into the swing of things now after spring break. I have a lot of schoolwork to welcome me back to school. With an exam last week and two more coming up this week it’s going to be a pretty busy week.
Besides school work I have a lot of other stuff now filling up my time. The college students against cancer which I am a part of hosted a men’s forum for cancer last Monday. We had a lot of great speakers and the event raised a lot of money but we were a little disappointed in the turn out. This was the first year so hopefully we can get the word out for next year. I also have the De Pere Relay for Life on Saturday which I hope we can raise a lot of money for cancer research.
Besides all the school work school has been going really well and I really like being at St. Norbert and I am looking forward to the next 3 years. It’s been a good year and things are only looking to get better. Well I have to go study now I’ll write again soon C ya!

Hey Guys,

It’s been a real busy two weeks. I have two papers due this week and a midterm to study for before spring break. Besides school work I have also been doing some other stuff around campus. I joined this group called college students against cancer and I am really excited to participate in events such as the relay for life coming up in April.
As for spring break I am just planning to go home and relax for ten days. My older brother is going to Italy so that should be fun for him. My brother John will be home with me which I am looking forward too because I haven’t seen him since Christmas.
Hopefully when I come back most of the snow will be meted but I am not getting my hopes up because it probably won’t be. It is getting warmer out which is really exciting. I can’t wait for spring time and being at school when it’s nice out. I haven’t really been home since January so I am just looking forward to spend some time back home even though the time has gone by really fast. Well I have to get studying again so I’ll talk to you guys soon.

Hey Guys,

It’s been a pretty busy past two weeks for me I have had a lot of schoolwork with two exams and papers in almost every class. Yesterday I got to go home for part of the day for an appointment. It was really nice because it was the first time I’ve been home this semester and it was really nice to get a home cooked meal. With all my schoolwork the last couple weeks have been pretty stressful and school work has been taken up most of my time, but I have been able to play some indoor soccer which has been really fun. I hope to play more often now.
It’s been warmer the past couple days but I am really getting sick of the cold and cant wait for spring to come. The last couple weeks before spring break are going to be full of schoolwork which is making me really looking forward to spring break. I can’t wait. Well I got to go now; I’ll talk to you later.

Bye

Hey Guys,

It’s been a couple weeks now into the semester and it seems like I am getting back into the swing of things again. My classes have been going good so far I just had my first paper due in African History which I think went ok and I have my first paper due in philosophy on Monday, it should be pretty hard. I have been having a lot more fun this semester. I’m meeting new people still all the time and building on relationships that I had last semester. It’s becoming more and more like home here.
I can’t wait till spring! It’s so cold outside and walking anywhere is becoming a real pain everyday. I just want to be somewhere warm right now. Other than the freezing conditions I have been getting mail to join some fraternities here on campus. I’m not sure yet whether or not I want to do that. They sound cool, but I don’t know yet. Tonight Michelle Obama presidential candidate Barrack Obama’s wife is speaking on campus and I am really excited about being able to attend that. I’ll check in with you guys later. Bye!
