Lots of Work!

Hello all!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I was able to go home and see my family and friends, which was awesome. We had 24 people at my house for Thanksgiving, so it was a lot of busy work to get ready but it was so fun.

We are in our last two weeks of classes now. I can't believe how fast the semester has gone. I have lots of work to do in these last couple weeks, so I will be spending most of my time in the library.

In two of my upper level Psychology courses I am writing research articles. It is pretty neat that the work I did in my lower level classes is coming through in all the work I am doing now. All of the skills I learned in years past in regards to writing technique and experiments are now being implemented in these papers.

The one thing that makes these last couple weeks somewhat more manageable is that all of my professors have opened their offices up essentially all day for the next couple weeks to help students with questions and presentations or just to vent about stress.

I'm off to class now, but I hope everyone enjoys the beginning of this winter season that seems to be kicking in!

Parent's Weekend and the Cold Front Moves In

Hello Everyone!

This past weekend at HWS was parent's weekend. I was lucky enough to have both parents come up and visit. My friends who live in an off campus house behind me had all of my roommates and our parents over for dinner. It was such a great treat. The next day my parents and I went to the football game, and the boys played amazingly. They beat the #11 team in the country! It was so nice to be able to meet everyone's parents and also get to go out for a nice dinner!

It's finally starting to feel like fall up here. The leaves are changing, and the campus looks so beautiful. There is one special tree on campus that has the most amazing color leaves. Another plus about fall in this area is the delicious apples grown nearby.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather and getting ready for Thanksgiving!
