Going on the second year out, I really miss Cornell's NSO. I'd LOVE to go back and be a PA again this coming year. But only if Julia and Kerri are going to be there again too. I really miss some of those really awesome PGMs I had over the years.

I must say that I'm really enjoying Renaissance Art History. I love Chris; she's just such a fun professor. And I am really impressed with the way she handles some of the stupid or just-plain-wrong comments that students make sometimes. She's really nice about it. She never tells anyone that they're totally wrong about what they see in a painting ( Read more... )

It's going to be a busy busy day, but it's little successes like this that keep me going -

would I really miss pizza with the president? I have been waiting for this since the first day of school. of course I'll be there
- emily There are little defeats too though. Like that Dan might drop class with me. I can't very well be Héloise without ( Read more... )

What a whirlwind. I can't believe it went by so fast, and took so much energy. I've never enjoyed naps more than during my little breaks this NSO. Still, I couldn't have asked for a better group for my senior year. Last year to do NSO, and I must say, this PA group was fantastic. And this NSO has been the most fun of all I must say. I had nearly ( Read more... )

We went over the whole NSO schedule, and heard Karla speak, and the Health Center Nurses, and some professors, and Susan Minger (who rambled a lot and handed out pennies and lectured us about ( Read more... )

Ok, so from midnight to 4am today were full of stress and frustration that my paper was going so suck-tacularly (I worked on it all day yesterday ugh..) and it was all bad. So I finished the paragraph, crawled into bed with Casey and decided we'd sleep for 2 and a half hours before getting up so he could take me back to MV before his class. We ( Read more... )

I feel smart "s-m-r-t!" when I ask questions that stump my latin tutor. I realize that I really need to be doing more latin if I hope to finish the book by the end of the year. And, I need to go back over stuff from the beginning of the year again to keep it in my brain. I like latin. I keep substituting spanish endings for latin though, because ( Read more... )
