Hey, sorry about taking so long to respond to this comment.

I lived in Rowell hall freshman year. Back then it was Rowdy Rowell on the decline, a total dump, but totally lovable. The summer after we moved out it was totally remodeled, and is now this fabulously beautiful dorm that is like a swanky hotel. Overall, you can't go wrong, all the dorms are nice, it's the people who make the experience. So make sure to take the time to be honest on the housing placement form, it really does work! I still live with my roommate from freshman year off campus, and we were matched up using this system. Good luck!

I've had a blast watching this new condo being built on my walk to school everyday. In the course of 10 or so weeks, it has risen from two concrete floors to seven! Pretty remarkable rate of growth I should say.

Oh how the world turns!

Aside, from that, there's not much else to report on. I've been cooped up working on final projects for the past two weeks at the academic center. Not a bad place to be stuck, but not a very interesting one. I'll save the details of my journalism ethics paper--nobody deserves to have to be a victim of eye melting dryness.

Good luck with the rest of the semester world!

Credit and love to my buddy Adrian who brought this to my attention.

If you have seen and thoroughly enjoy the Showtime show called "Californication" starring David Duchovny, than that is exactly what life is like for Professional Writing majors at Champlain. That, plus snow.

If you find the show chauvinistic, carnal, crude, and any number of other colorful vocabulary to describe distaste for a matter, than "Californicaiton" does not at all reflect the life of Professional Writing majors at Champlain.

Thank you,

Your President,

Your Senator,

Your Congress Person,

Your Mail Carrier.
