My favorite thing about October is that is means Fall is here; well for the most part. It is has been extra humid this year the early part of October and has finally cooled off a little. I love the cooler weather and being able to eat outside or just open the windows at home. Its so nice and fun!

However, my most favorite part of Fall is when the leaves change color.

Those are two neat pictures I found that could explain to you what I mean. In Houston we get leaves that change colors but what I love is when I am driving through East Texas on different roads seeing all the beautiful leaves and trees. Fall is such a great time of year and I hope you all are enjoying it just as much as I am. The holiday season is upon us and this is the start to beauty within nature and wonderful weather!

Enjoy and blessings~

So I know it's football season right now but since I'm not a fan I'm super excited about basketball season starting. With basketball season about to begin that means homecoming (which we center around basketball) is also right around the corner. This year's events take place November 4th-9th and we have a lot of fun activities planned like a pep rally, dance, chilli cookoff and of course the big game vs University of the Ozarks. I look forward to homecoming because I get to see a lot of friends come back and see all the new and exciting changes here at HBU-from the new soccer field to the new pipe organ. There's always something new going on on HBU but you can keep up with all the HBU news at hbucollegian.com or through HBU's twitter.

So if you know any HBU alums-friends, family or neighbors please remind them about HBU homecoming. You can also come and check it out-it's a lot of fun! Go to hbu.edu/homecoming to see the schedule.

Kiza, our mascot will be there cheering her team on...will you?

Hope to see you there!

Go DAWGS!

As a part of Freshman Year Seminar (which every Freshman takes), each class holds a movie night. We choose from a list of approved movies and then the entire class gathers somewhere to watch the movie together. Since I teach a class, tonight my class is coming over to my house! I'm cooking dinner - various types of pastas and sauces, complete with brownie hot fudge sundaes - and we're watching Last Holiday with Queen Latifah.

It's always fun to get to know my students better in an environment other than the classroom. Many of our professors open their homes to their students, through this movie night, Bible studies and other events that they host at their house. It's something that I think is fairly unique to HBU and one of the things I love about our university community.

Page talked about HBU Preview that we had two weekends ago, but I wanted to share a few more pictures and fun with you!

Dianne, Chelsea, and I can't wait for Preview to get started!

Friday night after ComedySportz, we had karaoke at the "Blue Dog Lounge" on the Lake House Terrace. Our Husky Ambassadors took on an old Britney Spears tune that really got the crowd going:

As you all know if you read this blog regularly, I am a huge animal lover...of all kinds! Last week I found a really cool spider outside of our building at work. I had never seen a bright green spider before. With the help of Bob (HBU's Assistant Director of Admissions) we caught the spider so we could show everyone in the office and look up what kind of spider he was.

We discovered he is a Green Lynx. Pretty cool, right? Just another day at the office at HBU!

Hope you are having a great week.

Go Huskies,
Chelsea
