I hope all is going well for you all. Since I will be attending alternative spring break, I went home this weekend! It was nice seeing my mom and dad; another added bonus was the YUMMY home cooked meals. Needless to say my TUMMY was very happy. Can you guess what happened here at the Colleges, while I was I gone this weekend? There was a BLACKOUT! There was an intense snow and ice storm that hit Geneva. The Colleges and some of the surrounding area were affected. Depending on where you lived on campus, you were either sent to Bristol Gym or the Library. Both of these locations have back up generators. Residential Education and Buildings & Grounds did a great job keeping students informed through emails and updates on the web. I was kept up to date by my friends through Facebook. It was quite entertaining!

I have four more days until I go to Norlina, North Carolina, and I cannot contain myself. It’s going to be a lot of FUN! Have a Terrific Tuesday, Wonderful, Tantalizing, Fantastic, Stupendous, and Splendid rest of the week. Take care :)

I cannot believe that it is already Wednesday!!! Where does the time go? But before I continue I have to tell you about my weekend, it was GREAT!!

On Friday, I attended Masquerade ball that was put together by the Caribbean Student Association (CSA). They did a GREAT job; it was a very successful event. The proceeds from the event were given to AIDS Rochester.

On Saturday, there was an open house on campus so I gave tours, then I stopped by the William Smith Basketball game. It was an awesome game, they did not win, but they will be playing in the NCAA this Friday!!! They have had a GREAT season.

I slept in on Sunday, and then spent the day doing homework. This week has been busy between meetings, work, and classes. Last night there was supposed to be a huge ice storm, but thank God it was not as intense as predicted. The trees look soooooo beautiful, it looks there are jewels hanging from them.

Since, spring break is right around the corner, most everyone has exams this week and next. I had two exams last week and I have a take home midterm due tomorrow. I like the fact that my professors scheduled exams before spring break, so I can truly enjoy the break!! Spring break is March 14-23, so if you are thinking about a visit to the Colleges, there will not be too many students around, so you might want to visit the week before or after break.

I will be attending one of the alternative spring break programs in Norlina, North Carolina to work at a rural elementary school. I went last year and had a BLAST!!

Have a WONDERUFL Wednesday, TERRIFIC Tuesday, Fantastic Friday, Stupendous Saturday, and SPLENDID Sunday!!
